Begich tells supporters he's considering a bid for Alaska governor

Former U.S. Sen. Mark Begich, a Democrat, on Friday confirmed what Alaska's political world has long suspected: He's contemplating a bid for governor next year.

Begich, in an email to supporters with the subject line “Governor?”, wrote that he’s considering a campaign. But along with his wife, Deborah Bonito, he hasn’t made a decision yet, he added.

Begich said he hopes to make up his mind in the next few months and asked for comments from recipients of his email.

but my toes, eyes, and hair as well. Mark is an awesome guy, and did great as Senator. I'd vote, campaign, make calls, and risk the 467 yard signs the oppo stole during the Obama campaigns, and Mark's as well.

DO IT! RUN, MARK!!!
