Big Primary Day Alaska

While all eyes seem to be on Denver and the DNC Convention, there are some big primaries going on today.

In Alaska, there are primary challenges for both embattled Congressman Don Young and Senator Ted Stevens. If Stevens and Young are not victorious, look for the races to all of a sudden become swing seats and difficult for Republicans to hold onto. Most local polls show that Stevens will survive his primary challenge, but Young may very well be beaten by Lt. Governor Sean Parnell, who has gotten support from the Club for Growth and Governor Palin.

If Parnell wins, look for an easy victory in November. This will be interesting to watch..
