Convicted felon Ted Stevens' near win in '08 suggests power of incumbency in Alaska is especially great. Begich could be Dems' silver lining
@FORGETLER I'm aware of that. Still, at the time he was a convicted felon. And recall in 2010, incumbent Murkowski won on a write-in vote.

@mtracey All true. Lisa Murkowski "inherited" her seat from dad, Frank, he served 1981-2002. Begich is also a "legacy", of Rep Nick Begich -
@FORGETLER I think Alaska is idiosyncratic insofar as the incumbent can do a lot for the Native population, which is difficult to poll
