Geo Beach beautifully explains Alaska's bizarre political environment to the rest of the country. "The Power of One" hits the nailhead squarely and explains, even to me, a 30 year resident, some issues that I had not even tied together, such as the fact that all three of our Congresspeople (both U.S. Senators and our lone Congressman) WERE ALL APPOINTED TO THEIR SEATS before they were actually elected by Alaskans.
I had no idea I could hear his words online, but went looking today because I just read Geo's new piece, one of the best commentaries to appear in the Anchorage Daily News on statewide politics and spending ("State Politics: Inventive Money Wasting" March 25, 2006).
