In addition to Obamacare, Begich gave us sweetheart Union deals on the way out the door as Anchorage mayor and possibly most telling the undeniable reality that Begich brought nothing to Alaska in 6 years as a US Senator even though he was in the majority along with a democratic president for most of his term. While elitists  like Lottsfeldt operate on the premise that the voting public is too stupid to remember events like these down the road it will be the responsibility of the Rebublicans and ultimately Begichs opponent to refresh our memory. If trends continue by 2018 Alaska more then ever, will need an energized pro business governor to lead our state, and not a tired old retread whose track record of accomplishment is abysmal regardless of the media spin.
