Today must be sweet indeed for Sen. Mark Begich, a guy whose 2014 re-election chances until recently were as bleak as winter in Shaktoolik. He is, after all, a very blue guy in a very red state.
Lucky for him, Republicans, as they are wont to do, routinely snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The Alaska Republican Party is a good example.
The party, over the years a stable, growing political institution, was hijacked in a Ron Paul blitzkrieg at its recent convention. Without warning, the party shoehorned itself into a bright red clown car and careered over a cliff. At the wheel? None other than Joe Miller -- who, by the way, has a Bronze Star.
