VP Rankings Alaska

Alaska Democrats
Tony Knowles, Former Gov, Ranking: 3, over the past 20 years Knowles has been the biggest name in the Alaskan Democratic party, but Knowles has lost his last two elestions and his political career apears over.

Alaska Republicans
Sarah Palin, Gov, Ranking: 6, Palin represents the face of the new Republican party that is trying to break from the corrupt old guard. Palin is highly popular and would be a good counter to McCain's age while highlighting his Maverick image. Palin's recent pregnancy hurts her chances.
Ted Stevens, Sen, Ranking: 1, Stevens has been in the Senate since 1968 and is 84. Stevens age and corruption problems that may result in prison time eliminates him from the vp hunt.
Lisa Murkowski, Sen, Ranking: 4, Murkowski is by far the younger of Alaska's two senators and is all around a better choice than Stevens. Murkowski however is not hugely popular, almost losing her reelection race in 2006. She is also part of a political family that is associated with the unpopular old guard of the Alaska GOP.
Don Young, Rep, Ranking: 1, Young is the Houses version of Stevens. He has served forever, he's old, and has major ethical issues.
