Recount done! Palin's Lt Gov whom she heavily endorsed just lost his bid for the congressional seat

[AkFemDem]

This seat is going DEMOCRAT after the primary!

I havn't seen mention of this yet, it's pertinent to national politics because it just goes to show the state of Alaska isn't completely under her spell, and just because SHE says to vote for someone- doesn't mean people will.
The recount is done and Youngs lead over Parnell actually INCREASED.

The data:

And just for fun, even the Right concedes this means a win for the democrats in primary because of Youngs record of corruption:

1. They'd rather elect a crook than a Palin clone

Or maybe they'd rather elect a crook than another crook.

Is this an open primary - could Dems vote in the repub election?

2. So, Berkowitz vs. Young?!? Game ON!!!!

This should be fun.
