    Get down to the polls, and don't forget to bring along your can of Don-B-Gone Spray!

    let's face it the republicans will vote them both in on the primary. I won't doubt that they would vote Stevens in even if he gets convicted, so the Governor could appoint another Republican rather than let a Dem have it.

    Has anyone compared Nader, to Obama, or to McCain ?

    On Nader's stand on the construction of the Alaska gas line?
    Or Nader's stand on anything?

    Not to take sides between to Obama, or to McCain. But to add a bit of debate to the 2.

    Any interesting thoughts or comments?

    I am a registered Republican and I did not vote for either one; I think Don may fall. Am hoping Ted does too be am not optimistic that he will be voted out. It remains to be seen whether I will vote for a Republican in the General Election.

    I won't vote for any of the Democrats who're running but there may be an 'Independent' (or two) running who might be a worthwhile substitute providing my preferences don't appear on the November Ballot in the "R" Slot.
