Addressing just your last statement :   Replace them with who ? Most good people don't run for office , in part because they don't want to have to go to Juneau every year for over a month and a half.  As the old saying goes---be careful what you wish for .  Anchorage voters , thanks to low voter turnout and union block voting , voted in pathetic liberal losers . They are already hard at work trying to drive taxes upwards.   When I see good , honest people like Kevin Meyer personally attacked and his honesty questioned on a daily basis---it's little wonder so few choose to serve . That opens the door to poor quality candidates .  Democrats couldn't even field one person to run for governor so they had to team up with Walker who couldn't win on his own either .  He clearly wants taxes and our PFD to fund his dream gas line.  Democrats fight against reduced state spending , and in fact demand increases . They are the one's who need to be replaced . But with who ?
