I live in GA and for one of my classes that I am taking I need to follow and keep a folder of articles on a Senate race and House of REps race in another state. Can anyone suggest a couple candidates that I could easily find articles on to follow? Thanks.

I cannot believe that a former saturday night live comiedian might become a US Senator. But then again we had a draft dodger become President, I guess anything can happen.

Ben,
This is what you do best analyze the issues that will decide the various issues and the candidates and the outcome of the various races. I use to disagree but have learned you almost always correctly predict the winners/losers

Like I said, barring an indictment, Stevens is fine. All bets are off if that happens. I did see that someone decided to challenge Young.

The convention could play a major role in the CO Race. Republicans are going to try and portray Udall as a "Boulder liberal" which he is. His opponent Bib Schaffer is doing better than expected in polls, but he has a severe money disadvantage, especially with the left leaning 527 money in Colorado.

Mayor Beigch doesn't really stand a chance against Stevens. He has little name recognition, isn't a Republican, can't promise to bring home the pork like Stevens does, and lacks the funds to run his campaign across this vast state. The fact that Anchorage is kind of a dump and looked down upon by non-residents. Also, Ted Stevens is the Robert Byrd of Alaska.

Ben, do you think having the Democratic convention in Colorado will impact the Udall / Allard race? In my view it could be a liability to Udall if it is a contentious convention.

Ben,

It is late here, but I will give you my AK summary tomorrow.

BTW: I'd worry more about Rep. Young.
