The reason Murkowski won in 2004 was because John Kerry lost by 25 points in Alaska. If Knowles was running with Obama and Obama lost by only five or six points, Knowles would have been a Senator today.
Absolutely right on. We cant abandon Alaska on the Presidential level and then hope for any success from the downballot races. If Obama can even keep Alaska competitive, it gives Begich and Berkowtiz a much, much better chance at winning here.
