The YouTube video of Barack Obama's recorded address to the Alaska Democratic Party's convention shows that he and his staff have more than a passing knowledge of Alaska issues:
Remember, these were the overall Super Tuesday numbers:
Barack Obama --- 6,471
Mitt Romney --- 5,177
Mike Huckaby --- 2,596
Hillary Clinton --- 2,138
Ron Paul --- 2,004
John McCain --- 1,837

Good speech. So, lets do a little math.
Barack + Hillary = 8,609 Dems
Mitt + Mike + John = 9,610 Repubs
Ron = 2,138 Who knows?
Looks to me like Democrats still have substantial challenges ahead.
This is not to diss the Democratic message by any means. Better to know, than not.
As everyone knows we've been awash in corporate abuse in regards to AEL&P in what is a clear example of negligence. In many parts of our nation the power supply is public utility not a private enterprise. It's time for Alaskans and the people of Juneau to take a step back and realize this is not just so in Juneau but across our nation.
In politics corporate lobbyists have immense influence in both parties both the Democrats and Republicans. For the first time in who knows how long the Democrats have out raised the Republicans in terms of corporate donors, Obama himself is in the hands of the nuclear power giant Exelon. We must look under the surface of his thin skin of populism and realize he is another corporate Democrat in the garb of populism.
With corporate abuse running rampant in Juneau we must look to a figure who long has held the rights of the consumer over that of the corporation. Ralph Nader has long stood up for consumer rights and the environment. AEL&P would not be able to act as they will with very little over sight if we did not have politicians in the hands of corporate boards and executives. In light of the AEL&P scandal we must throw our support behind someone who will fight for our rights and not let private interests run our necessities.
teehitan,
Nice new blog. Keep it up!
Way to go Senator Obama!!
I wouldn't have given all of those kudos to Patti Higgins (Clintonite Extraordinare who IGNORES the will of Alaskan Democratic voters) -
But aside from that, wow - he rocked!
Even if he said "Mot Su" instead of Mat Su... LOL!
