Research 2000 was recently commissioned to poll Alaskans on our possible political choices in the future, by the influential liberal blog, DailyKos. The poll, published early this afternoon, shows Gov. Sarah Palin doing well in every matchup polled, including in a primary run against Sen. Lisa Murkowski for her seat, which comes up in 2010.In the DailyKos diary entry covering the polls, the site's blogfather, Markos Moulitsas, has this to say:
Crap, did I really jump back into polling Alaska? Crazy, since everyone was wrong about the 2008 results. People said they wouldn't vote for the two crooks -- Sen. Ted Stevens and Rep. Don Young -- and then they did! It was a bizarre "Wilder effect" at play. But Alaska is far too entertaining politically to swear off, so we jumped right back in.
You can go to the diary to read the details. It is by far the most in-depth poll of Alaskans since late October, and is fascinating. Here are just a few of the more interesting findings:

Yeah, those are still pretty strong numbers for the Barracuda. I can't believe she'd be that far ahead of Lisa in a Senate primary. WTF, over?
By the way, glad to see Knowles at the bottom of the heap. Stay retired in Hawaii, dude.
Lets do the Math,
Two more years as Governor
Re-elected for four more years.
In Six years she runs for Senate.
Nice Guy Mark Begich is a one term Senator
Positively Palin
Looks like Robert has been doing the meth, rather than the math...
it's not just a river in eqypt.
Now is the time for Progressives to be focused on service, on getting things done in Alaska via local intiatives, and via Senator Begich and the Obama administration and federal economic stimulus money. The polls suggest Progressives have a ways to go. That's fine. We are not burdened by corruption and ideology. Progressives will work with anyone. Be patient, stay focused on service, and tell the story.
What do progressives want to do for Alaskans? That is the question.
Most of us see progressives wanting to lock up Alaska and lock people out of Alaska.
You will need to make people feel that progressives want to help the majority of Alaskans to stand a chance.
Time to change your image from a criticizer to a builder.
Whay anyone would pay good money for a poll to be conducted in Alaska is beyond me. Polling in our state is pointless: ask Ethan's real estate agent in Bethesda.
Really boys, you'd have to be pretty f*cking retarded not to know that despite everything, Sarah is still a strong statewide candidate. Also is it such a bg surprise that perennial loser Ethan Berkowitz would once again be Don Young's bitch?
We need two viable candidates for 2010 (I'm writing off the Senate seat), someone to run for Congress and someone to run for Gov. It's a shame Croft is running for Mayor: he'd be great against Don. Perhaps he'll change his mind?
希望大家都會非常非常幸福~
「朵朵小語‧優美的眷戀在這個世界上，最重要的一件事，就是好好愛自己。好好愛自己，你的眼睛才能看見天空的美麗，耳朵才能聽見山水的清音。好好愛自己，你才能體會所有美好的東西，所有的文字與音符才能像清泉一樣注入你的心靈。好好愛自己，你才有愛人的能力，也才有讓別人愛上你的魅力。而愛自己的第一步，就是切斷讓自己覺得黏膩的過去，以無沾無滯的輕快心情，大步走向前去。愛自己的第二步，則是隨時保持孩子般的好奇，願意接受未知的指引；也隨時可以拋卻不再需要的行囊，一路雲淡風輕。親愛的，你是天地之間獨一無二的旅人，在陽光與月光的交替之中瀟灑獨行.............................................................................................................有時，你覺得痛。胃痛的時候，接受它，承認這個疼痛是你的身體的一部份，與它和平共處。心痛的時候，接受它，承認這個經驗是你的生命的一部份，與它和平共處。抗拒痛的存在，只會讓它更要證明它的存在，於是你就更痛。所以，.無論你有多麼不喜歡痛的感覺，還是要接納這個痛的事實。與你的痛站在同一邊，不逃避，不閃躲，不再與你的痛爭執，如此，你的痛才會漸漸不再胡鬧，才會乖乖平息下去。.................心願-你許下了一個心願，你閉上眼睛，在冥想之中把這個心願交託宙給宇整個讓宇宙推動它全部的力.量去執行.，你看見星球與星球的引力牽繫著彼此，你聽見虛空與虛空.唱裡著和妙美的聲音，為了你的心願，整個宇宙正在相互傳遞，然後你放下了心願，不僅是放下，最好你還把你的心願忘記，唯有如此，它才能脫離你，發展它自己，
當它在宇宙的遊歷結束之後，它自然會來到你身邊，以你曾經希望的方式回應你，許下，只是讓它發生，放下，才是讓>它實現，你的心願使你懂得不能執著的奧秘...................
