I`m pretty sure most of the 138,000 Alaskans who voted to build our own gasline would disagree with your election prediction, even more so if you and the rest of the gasline naysayers are proven wrong, in the run-up to November, about the chances of the project`s success.  This Alaskan is hopeful and praying hard that the Governor and President return to the states with good news that will do much to fix the huge trade imbalance we have with China.  And China/Asia is already Alaska`s largest trading partners, so let`s continue to show them free and fair enterprise is the best course of action to keep a peaceful and prospering relationship, and to fend off nationalistic jingoism.
