That's just how they say "howdy" in Alaska.

Weren't the Repubicans screaming corruption a couple months ago when the Demoncrats offered people jobs so they wouldn't run? Now DeMint is complaining about inability to punish Merkowski for running for re-election.

The TP'ers inexplicably want to repeal the 17th Amendment -- direct election of senators. <i>(Hell, they also want to repeal the 14th, 23rd, 1st, 13th and ... pretty much all the prime numbered Amendments.)</i> Somehow the people and democracy would be better served if state legislatures picked senators, like the good olde days when we had the Civil War. Murkowski's candidacy (and Crist too) are the nightmare scenario where NOBODY (except the voters) decide -- no primary, no back room deals, no payoffs not to run.

It's ironic they boast of their primary wins which would be impossible under that 19th century approach.
