I could see Alaska going for a Libertarian House member if the Dems didn't contest a seat, the Libertarian ran a great campaign and had lots of money, and Don Young falls to a huge corruption scandal.

Alaska? The state entirely dependent on state handouts and subsidies? The state whose main desire in a federal politician someone who says to the Treasury "gib money pls" as often as possible? The state who constantly confounds Washington conventional wisdom by voting for economic populist items? That Alaska?

Alaska has been friendlier territory for Libertarians than the other states. Ed Clark got nearly 12% in the 1980 presidential election, and Dick Randolph got elected to the state House of Representatives, who then went on to get about 15% statewide in a gubernatorial race.
