I was just watching Stu Rothenberg and Charlie Cook on Hardball, analyzing the Senate races. They led off with Alaska. Rothenberg mentioned an interesting possibility:
Stevens wins the crowded Republican primary and drops out after pressure from state and national GOP leaders. This would allow the GOP to pick a strong candidate (Palin or maybe Parnell or LeDoux) who would be favored to keep the seat instead of Stevens who would almost definitely lose or one of the other Republicans who aren't as strong.
What do you think? Good plan? Do you think it's being seriously considered?
Did they actually check whether this kind of crap is legal in Alaska? I know it is in a few other states... I'm just being cautious here.
