	Tony Knowles (politician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anthony Carroll "Tony" Knowles (born January 1, 1943 in Tulsa, Oklahoma) is an American Democratic politician and businessman who served as Governor of Alaska from December 1994 to December 2002.
		Knowles was chair of the Western Governors' Association in 1997, two-term chair of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission, and a member of the Pew Oceans Commission (POC).
		Knowles pushed Canadian officials to adopt his "safe passage" principle to protect Pacific salmon and their freshwater habitat, leading to the successful negotiation of the first coast wide salmon treaty in decades.

	NEWS ARTICLE
		Knowles agreed only reluctantly to be interviewed on the topic, which he says Lindauer is raising only to gain political points.
		He blasted Knowles for refusing to sign the state law enacted in 1996 banning same-sex marriage, and for criticizing the proposed amendment.
		Knowles was widely expected to veto that 1996 legislation, but instead he allowed it to become law without his signature.

		It is these votes for which Sen. Lisa Murkowski and former Gov. Tony Knowles, along with their political parties, are bidding.
		Politicians bid for the favor of those, in whatever voter pool, who actually vote or whose voter history suggests they vote most frequently.
		To a politician, a senior vote is worth almost three times that of a 22-year-old.

		Tony Knowles kicked off his campaign at the Juneau Yacht Club, a banquet hall with nautical fixtures and stucco ceilings and in the avalanche path of a 4,000-foot-tall, glacier-capped peak.
		Knowles is a skilled politician, utterly at home as he and his wife, Susan, shake hands and chat with supporters clad in an Alaska mix of rain gear, fleece, shorts, and clogs.
		Knowles is using Friendster-style social network software - complete with online profiles of members, interest groups, and emailed invitations to join - to give him the edge.

	Caribou v. Kennedy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Former Alaska governor Tony Knowles, the Democratic Senate nominee, is a supporter of drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, or ANWR, which most Alaskans support.
		Knowles, in answer to the first question at Tuesday night's debate, also said he had not made nepotism an issue.
		Knowles has made the tax break his main issue in the final weeks of the campaign, arguing that Murkowski should have somehow changed the bill in Congress to make Exxon Mobil pay the billions that it owes Alaskans as damages from the Exxon Valdez oil spill.

		Alaska is poised to become a key battleground in the fight for control of the Senate now that former Democratic Gov. Tony Knowles has said he will enter the race.
		Democrats say that Knowles is their dream candidate in a GOP-leaning state that President Bush carried handily in 2000 because he served as governor during more prosperous times.

		The last place you'd expect to hear a politician promoting a centrist initiative to seek bipartisan solutions is at a political party convention.
		For you centrist aficionados, the term was trendy among middle-of-the-road stars of the ‘90s, like Bill Clinton and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who used it to describe the shift in their political parties away from liberal-labor welfare dogma ad toward market-oriented social and economic policies.
		Bayh insists The Third Way group he wants to form in the Senate won't be a think tank like the DLC, but rather a "results-oriented" voting bloc intended to achieve deadlock-breaking compromise bills on such critical issues as health care, education and the budget.

		I believe that Miller was a good candiate but started way to slow- he should have started on her record from the beginning and not "introduced" himself.
		Tonys time in grade has never been questioned by me. But his time in office has raised doubts about his goals for Alaskans and himself.
		So that means voting for Tony, (the more conservative of the two)then kicking him to the wayside next time around for a better Republican candidate.

	GOP Has Edge In Fight For Senate - CBS News
		She faces a tough re-election fight against Democrat Tony Knowles, a popular former governor.
		Who's Yer Daddy?" Knowles has succeeded in making Murkowski's appointment a major campaign issue, while at the same time playing down his connection with John Kerry, and promising — like Murkowski — to open up Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife for drilling, which is one of President Bush's top energy issues.
		Both candidates have deep roots in the state, but Coors — a first-time politician — has the advantage of almost universal name recognition and more conservative views in a state that tends to vote Republican.
