Tony Knowles: Back in the Saddle Again
Alaska, Governors

Tonyknowles_1Former two-term Democratic Governor Tony Knowles of Alaska has filed to run for his old job again -- against GOP Governor Frank Murkowski.

"It's time for strong, bold ideas. To discussing at length with the Alaska public, so we can make the right decisions for things that will affect us for the next 40, 50, 75 years," said Knowles.

Another Democratic gubernatorial candidate - House minority leader Ethan Berkowitz - has abandoned his bid, and will now run for Lieutenant Governor.

I love Tony Knowles. Of course, theoretically he should be hated on many on this site, and probably considered a "wingnut" because he's not a raging leftist in Alaska.

Who said anything about there being raging leftists on this site? Or are you getting Western Democrat confused with some other blog?

Yeah, this is extremely moderate.
