Speaks at the Democratic National Convention (not much attention, after all, we're just a small bunch of folks in Interior Alaska):

The link is down toward the bottom to listen to Mayor Whitaker. Let me tell you, fellow patriotic Alaskans, this man is a ROCK. He's the only registered Republican I've ever voted for, and I did so after he and I talked for 1/2 hour at the Tanana Valley State Fair while he was running.

He is a true American, a true patriot, and the kind of person from "across the aisle" who really cares about Alaska and Alaskans.

And of course, the extreme-right-wing News-Minus hates him, now. They endorsed him for mayor!

Begich and Benson seem to be doing OK here - for the uber-red Interior! WE WILL WIN THIS.

1. NOD, did I see you on the Daily News blog this morning?

I thought it was you -- I responded. I'm pretty darn sad here this morning, but I guess I'll survive. Your mayor sounds like a smart man. Too bad all the rest of the dummies in Alaska are too stupid to get their heads out of their asses.
