Compared to Stevens, either Murkowski, or Rep. Young, he's Bobby Kennedy.  In youth and appearance as well as statesmanship.

Still, that says more about Alaska Goopers than it does about him. Think he could have an independent run against Palin in a couple of years and make it interesting? How about Lisa Murkowski?  Could he get enough votes in Alaska to deny the EVs to McCain? Or to sink Obama's uphill chance in Alaska completely?
