Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska won the Republican primary in his home state on Tuesday, soundly defeating six Republican challengers less than a month after he was indicted by a federal grand jury for concealing more than $250,000 in gifts from an oil services company.

Ugh. I grew up in Alaska for twenty years, and my family still lives in Anchorage...and I still couldn't tell you what the major Alaskan defect is that allows them to make such monumentally STUPID choices election cycle after election cycle. Maybe too many people directly smoking crude oil in place of the usual crack. Dumbasses.

The Mayor of Fairbanks endorsed Obama last night at the Convention.

Interestingly enough, he is running against Stevens.

Could it be because Alaska has one of the highest rates of alcoholism and drug abuse in the country?

More or less half a million in population, Alaska is not spared from the debilitating problem of substance abuse in the country today. Despite of it's small population, their annual rate of alcohol and drug addiction is relatively high and they are also one of the major consumers of illegal substances. Most of the recorded criminal offenses and violence in Alaska are effects of alcohol or drug use and abuse. Almost half of Alaska's population may also be facing the problem of alcoholism because habitual drinking is very common. They learn to start drinking in their early teens and most get stuck with it as they grow older.
