…at least until he gets smashed on Election Day. Looks like Rep. Don Young will win his Alaska GOP primary against his Republican challenger, Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell. The result isn’t certified yet, but Young now leads by 235 votes following the count of absentee ballots. So the GOP probably will head into the general election with a candidate who has been rejected by essentially half of his party, who is under federal investigation, and whose pork-barreling ways are under daily assault by a Republican ticket that now includes the governor of his own state.
