		Republican Sarah Palin, while still the frontrunner in the race for Alaska governor, is facing increased scrutiny — and demands from critics that she clarify her positions on substantial issues, particularly the always controversial subject of abortion.
		Alaska Republican Gov. Frank H. Murkowski was decisively beaten in Tuesday’s primary election, placing third to winner Sarah Palin, a former Wasilla mayor, and former state Sen. John Binkley in a contest that ignominiously ended the political career of one of Alaska’s more durable officeholders.
		Alaska Gov. Frank H. Murkowski's term has been so filled with turbulence and controversy, and his public approval ratings have dropped so low, that the failure of his bid for a second term in next Tuesday’s Alaska Republican primary appears not just possible — it appears a near-certainty.

	Shame on Alaska and Governor Frank Murkowski
		Every Governor or statewide elected official will be compelled to increase (or maintain) state revenues by promoting an increase in the price of natural gas and encouraging more, rather than less, consumption.
		The second is whether Alaska’s financial managers will view these new terms as a means of softening a bite that must hit everyone, everywhere rather than as a windfall to permit a few more years of consumption-as-usual in Alaska (no worse than the rest of the US) and the resultant environmental damage it will bring.
		Alaska’s future oil and gas revenues (and their source) will have a decided impact on the State’s bonds and many other financial derivatives like pension funds, medical plans, etc. Fund managers will have a vested interest in maximizing state revenues to protect liquidity and that will only be accomplished by making natural gas prices rise.

		Alaska's first female governor, a former Miss Wasilla with swept-up light-brown hair, says it is her responsibility to be available even to fashion magazines if it can help change the state's reputation for graft and gluttony at the public trough.
		She immediately took on the state's most lucrative industry, questioning whether Alaska — which gets about 85 percent of its revenue from big oil — is getting its fair share of the oil companies' billions of dollars in quarterly profits.

	Governor says Alaska's image needs makeover
		Alaska suffered another setback a few months ago during the furor over $450 million Congress appropriated for two "Bridges to Nowhere" that became symbols of wasteful spending.
		In 2003, the latest year for which figures are available, Alaska received $1.89 in federal spending for every $1 the state paid in taxes to Washington, according to the Tax Foundation, a non-partisan research organization.
		As for why Alaska gets so much money from Washington, the congressional delegation and state leaders say it is because Alaska is a young state that lacks the infrastructure and services the rest of the nation has.

		In some ways, democratic institutions are quite fragile – they depend on the integrity of the people who serve in them before they can live up to the promise of equality and justice that is at the heart of this country.
		Alaska's leaders can regain Alaskans' trust when officials adhere to the simple standard of avoiding even the appearance of impropriety.
		And, of course, Alaska's leaders must keep the promises they have made, from honoring the commitment to the Longevity Bonus to sharing Alaska's oil wealth through revenue sharing with local governments to protecting the Permanent Fund.

		Alaska Republican Gov. Frank H. Murkowski was decisively beaten in Tuesday’s primary election, placing third to winner Sarah Palin, a former Wasilla mayor, and former state Sen. John Binkley in a contest that ingloriously ended the political career of one of Alaska’s more durable officeholders.

		In the race for Alaska’s lone at-large House seat, veteran Republican Rep. Don Young was unopposed in the GOP primary and will be an overwhelming favorite to win a 17th full term against Democrat Diane E. Benson.

		Murkowski's approval ratings have skidded over the past four years because of much-criticized decisions such as appointing his daughter Lisa to his U.S. Senate seat and purchasing a state jet after his request for the aircraft was denied by both the federal government and state Legislature.
		In the I-wish-I-were-joking moment of today, Alaska Governor Frank Murkowski (R), whose approval ratings you might mistake as Alaska’s average winter temperature, just released a radio ad which defies logic.
		There is some word that while Murkowski has announced he is running again, there is a strong possibility he could drop out sometime down the road, and that he might in fact be using the election as leverage to get some legislative priorities through the Alaskan legislature.
