NPR: Way Up Nort': I Feel Young Again

Way Up Nort': I Feel Young Again

Today, all eyes, or some eyes, the ones that aren't hungover from the RNC Google party at The Walker Art Center, are gazing upon Alaska once again. Rep. Don Young (R-AK) is seeking his 18th term as Alaska's At-Large member of the U.S. House. He is in the fight of his political life. Young leads his Palin-backed challenger Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell by a mere 151 votes after last week's GOP primary. State election officials have roughly 25k absentee and ballots under question that will be considered today. Young spokesman Mike Anderson told the Anchorage Daily News, "We're cautiously optimistic." Whoever wins will face Democrat Ethan Berkowitz.
