I don't think Palin will do it, but good for her if she does.

Lunar:
It would be poetic for Palin to primary both Murkowski's.

Palin would scare me more in the Senate, but she would add some amusement.

JohnnyLongtorso:
I refuse to trust any polling of Alaska.

Lunar:
Usually the reason not to trust it is because Alaskans have lately loved the goddamned GOP brand beyond belief, no?

I mean, it took an epic scandal and 7 guilty counts in a federal court for Stevens to barely lose. 

My skepticism over Alaska is that I don't think Alaskans will accept a conservative Democrat in opposition to Murk.  In most of the South, I suspect that someone in Murk's situation would be toast to someone like Musgrove or Pryor or Nelson. 

Like, I think it might be possible that Idaho or Utah would be more willing to jettison an unpopular (read: hated but no convictions) GOP senator than Alaska... 

Reid better let Begich bring home massive bacon
