"informed" voter -- Really?  You're the only one mentioning Obama in this Alaska political financing report - I've been here since the '60's myself, and a quacking duck is still a duck - These guys have noting to lose from spending all of our common savings over the next 3-4 years, then taking their Alaska tax-supported profits to Palm Springs! They've gotten fat thanks to our giveaway philosophy - but it's past time for it to stop.. We need our savings to finance our LONG-TERM Alaska future - not to help these guys stay on the tax-free public dole..
