Go North, Young Man

There's no reason for Obama not to visit Anchorage during the summer. Considering that John McCain doesn't work weekends he wouldn't even lose any time on the campaign trail relative to his opponent. And 41% of the population of Alaska lives in or around Anchorage. It's also about an hour from there to Fairbanks, another decent-sized population center. And the help this would give our down-ballot federal candidates like Mark Begich and Ethan Berkowitz would be unmatched.

On a personal level I'm perturbed with Obama, but on a political level he's not only doing what needs to be done to win, but to build a lasting Democratic majority. I'm confident he'll go to Alaska.
