AK-Sen
(Map)
This seat is currently held by Ted Stevens®, the arrogant, extremely conservative king of pork barrel spending. It’s likely that Stevens will wind up in jail next year instead of being returned to the Senate. Federal agents raided his house last year, and there’s an ongoing investigation into shady land deals, etc. This and related scandals have tainted most of the Alaska Republican party, providing a rare opportunity to replace both Stevens and the equally heinous Don Young, the state’s only member of Congress, with Democrats. Popular Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich has formed an exploratory committee and is likely to enter this race—he would be a very strong candidate.
