A federal judge on Wednesday ruled against Sarah Palin, denying her request to be compensated for more than $22,000 in attorney fees she spent in a case against her that was dismissed last year. Juneau activist Chip Thoma had filed...

It was a rollicking good time at the House Majority press conference in Juneau, Alaska, on Friday. Mark Miller, a reporter from the Juneau Empire cited a recent poll from Public Policy Polling in which only 30 percent of Alaskans were opposed to legally recognizing same-sex partnerships. That means 70...

Wasilla City Councilman, Republican State House candidate (and former candidate for Alaska Lt. Governor in 2010), Mark Ewing keeps talking. And then trying to untalk. And then talking again. And it's just not good.

In a recent debate...

Here in Alaska, the proposed Pebble Mine project is not a partisan issue, but it is very political. It's an issue of fish vs. cyanide, Alaskans vs. multinational corporations, Native culture vs. the bottom line, sustainable jobs vs. instant gratification, and food security vs. greed. It's a battle between holding...

It's...

Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) was one of three women in the Senate, along with Susan Collins (R - ME) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) to vote this week for the Blunt Amendment, which would preclude insurance coverage for contraceptives and other medical procedures for which an employer had a moral...

Sarah Palin aide Frank Bailey, whose story was published in the tell-all book Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin (Frank Bailey, Ken Morris, Jeanne Devon - Simon & Schuster) has agreed to pay $11,900 in civil penalties to the state of Alaska for publishing revelatory emails he retained from...

As the immediate past vice presidential nominee, it's hardly surprising that most people outside Alaska view Sarah Palin as a card-carrying member of the GOP establishment. Despite her husband Todd's seven year dalliance with the secessionist Alaska Independence Party, and his quiet conversion to the GOP when his wife decided...

Sarah Palin, perhaps politics' most high-profile vetting escapee, seems to have a strong opinion on the matter of vetting when it comes to people who are not Sarah Palin. Despite documentation that proves Palin was never vetted (as John McCain and others claim), she is waving the red flag, encouraging...

From the moment Sarah Palin's acceptance speech electrified the Republican convention, she was seen as an unbending, hard-charging, red-meat ideologue--to which soon was added "thin-skinned" and "vindictive." But a look at what Palin did while in office in Alaska--the only record she has--shows a very different politician: one who worked...

Any hopes of having a clear winner on election night in the U.S. Senate race in Alaska were dashed by the presence of write-in candidate, incumbent Republican Lisa Murkowski, who may turn out to...

A new poll conducted by Hays Research confirms what we already intuitively know. Alaska U.S. Senate candidate Joe Miller's candidacy is in big trouble.

The percentage of Alaskans who feel either "somewhat negative" or "very negative" about...

Sorry, Tea Party Sugar Daddy. Looks like your sweetie really isn't that into you. Now, don't get me wrong, he doesn't mind spending your money like a drunken sailor trying to stumble his way into the halls of the nation's capitol, but to be seen with you in public? Well,...

Joe Miller - Fiscal conservative, budget balancer, not liverer beyond his means.... and... (wait for it)... buried under mounds of credit card debt, and running a campaign more than $100,000 beyond his means?

Apparently so. Miller, who was supposed to have filed his financial disclosure paperwork for his run for...

~Sarah Palin addresses the Conservative Patriots Group rally in Wasilla, Alaska on 9/11/10

It has long been speculated that former Alaska governor and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin would mount a bid for the White House in 2012....

So, in Alaska politics, is it all about the money?

Would Joe Miller have beaten Lisa Murkowski if they ran against each other in a general election? Most people say no. The ability of this particular primary to call out the Tea Party faithful, by way of a $600,000 media...
