I'm a little sad by this since I'm an American and not an Alaskan and would therefore see more benefits if Knowles were in the US Senate instead of the governor's mansion. But for Alaskans, this is a good day. Knowles (a former 2-term governor) is probably among my top 10 favorite US politicians (maybe even the top half dozen). He's been a good governor before - so why shouldn't Alaskans turn to him again, especially since Gov. Murkowski is extremely unpopular? This would seem to suddenly be one of the Democrats' best pick-up opportunities in the country (even if we are talking about ruby Red Alaska).
