Wank on, Larry. I seriously doubt that the Democrats will field a candidate in 2018. Begich might be the least likely to run, if they did. I don't recall any "sour grapes," but perhaps you get your "news" from Faux, or World Net Daily. After serving 8 years on the Assembly, four years as chair, Begich beat former mayor George Wuerch by 8% in 2003, 5,000 votes. You call that "barely winning?" I hope you don't drive in this condition.
