"No Democrat is running, largely because Seaton is so popular"...um, sure, Charles.  It only took several minutes of  looking through the legislature's roster of members to find this factoid: in all of statehood, only two legislators, Yule Kilcher and Andre Marrou, came from the southern peninsula AND from a different party than the Republicans.  Homer and the immediate surrounding area produced such Republican pillars as Clem Tillion, Leo Rhode and Gail Phillips.
