2010 Alaska Primary Election Results

Alaska primary election results 2010 are pouring in.  Incumbent Republican Sean Parnell made a bid for re-election and has won 49% of the votes over challengers Bill Walker and Ralph Samuels, who walked away with 34% and 14%, respectively. Ethan Berkowitwz won the democratic primary against Hollis French 56% to 44%.

Uncertainty remains within the Alaska Senate primary.  Democrat Scott McAdams won over Jacob Set Kern and Frank Vondersaar.  Incumbent Republican Lisa Murkowski could be the recipient of some incumbent angst, as it appears that Joe Miller is going to be successful in his bid against her.  He currently holds a slight lead. 

38 year veteran and incumbent Republican Don Young won the “at large” district nomination, and will fight against Harry Crawford in the democratic party.

This is a hot state, as it is the state where Sarah Palin used to be governor.  Palin stepped down after an unsuccessful bid to become Vice President of the United States alongside John McCain in 2008.

The “Ground Zero Mosque” a Political Debate During Elections

The “Ground Zero Mosque” is the planned establishment which is situated near the 9/11 ground zero location. It is there where many Americans lost their lives at the hands of radical Islamists. The debate is heated over whether or not an Islamic place of worship should be so close to where so many lost their lives.

The debate gained even more steam when the President said that the Muslims have the “right” to build their worship centers on private property. This comment gained him criticism from, among other people – Rush Limbaugh.

All critics and supporters aside, the “ground zero mosque” is becoming a hot political topic – and a buzz during the election year. Voters are cautioned to consider some of the bigger issues that are facing our country. The looming unemployment figures, lackluster economy, and more.

Still, there are many Americans who feel strongly one way or another about the worship center and its proximity to the World Trade Center . These individuals may align themselves with politicians with the same view, or at least distance themselves from politicians with openly opposite views.
