Just caught up to Alaska returns(I'm down in Olympia). Sorry for what looks like bad news [View all]

From what I saw, the Senate coalition is toast. Is that an accurate assessment?

If so, I have a suggestion(if it's doable)...an initiative campaign to restore the existing oil tax if
'Lil Seanie gets his way and the Leg guts it.

Good to see Obama broke 40%, though.

Any reactions from up there?
