it's a deeply republican state and i think there's true affection for steven's on top of that.

it's not that "big" a state despite geography. there's less than 700,000 people there and half of them live within spitting distance of anchorage.

he's done a lot for the state unlike barry and the d of c. people know him personally on a level those of us living in larger states can't imagine.

i think it's more a family thing that we on the outside can't quite understand.
