Bill, why don't you give it a break and let Ross explain himself?  Running in an adopted State, ie. FL or AK, is moot.  Being pure Alaskan is a crock, we're all immigrants here.  But buying a seat like Sen. Sullivan or our buddy Ross appears to be doing seems a bit much for the rest of us.  Maybe Ross could show a few terms in Anchorage as councilman or mayor etc., public service doe not have to start somewhere up the political ladder.
