Each week, host Michael Carey gathers journalists and commentators for a review of the week’s news, politics and public affairs in Anchorage and Alaska. Topics this week include:
- Ted Stevens’ jury trial will not move to Alaska, but is still on for September in Washington, DC; how will this affect the Stevens re-election campaign?
- Vic Vickers’ run for U.S. Senate — against Ted Stevens — dominates the paid airwaves; what do we know about him?
- U.S. House race is tightest among Republicans Don Young, Sean Parnell and Gabrielle LeDoux; what must Don Young do to dodge corruption allegations and win re-election? what can Sean Parnell do to develop a public personality?; will Gabrielle LeDoux spoil the election for one of the two other candidates?
- Parnell’s funding from the Club for Growth — is this damaging to his campaign?
- Bensen / Berkowitz U.S. House primary race for Democratic ballot slot is also in play this season
- Fairbanks mayor Jim Whitaker is headed to the Democratic National Convention to speak
- Governor Palin puts employee on leave after discovering he pressured State Troopers to fire an enemy of the Palin family — the Wooten / Monegan controversy continues
