Senator Ted Stevens and Alaska Statewide Polling

November 11, 2008

By Wev Shea

Like Justice Department prosecutors who are not prepared and/or try to cover up their obvious conspiratorial intent, Alaska pollsters have made every excuse for failing to “predict” Alaska's 2008 election. But pollsters are dealing with thousands, not a jury of 12.

Please forgive Dave Dittman, Ivan Moore, Mark Hellenthal, Hayes Research and any/all others I have missed. Mr. Dittman and Mr. Hellenthal have a “history” of not being close on statewide elections. Alaskans “cannot be polled” statewide with 500 inquiries/calls.

On election night of the 1994 governor’s race, both Mr. Dittman and Mr. Hellenthal were predicting Democrat Tony Knowles as the winner by 12% to 17% over Republican Jim Campbell. Tony Knowles “actually won” by only 536 votes, less than 1%, in an election fraught with misconduct, corrupt and fraudulent acts, all covered up and/or ignored.

Now, 14 years later “our” pollsters are making excuses. What our pollsters need to admit is Alaskans are very difficult to poll statewide. A 500 statewide “statistical sample” of Alaskans is grossly inadequate. Our diverse communities and vast state is too unique.

But Alaskans can identify gross prosecutorial misconduct when the facts are defined by Senator Ted Stevens, not the Democratic Senatorial Committee or their “hit man” from Florida. Public Integrity at Main Justice is now defined by Deputy Brenda Morris' fraud and corruption in her unique prosecution conspiracy with Bill Allen and his legal counsel.

Alaskans must not tolerate this 2008 prosecutorial misconduct or the election fraud as defined in 1994 with Tony Knowles’ victory as Governor. Alaskans, which attorney is a common denominator in the 2008 prosecution misconduct of Ted Stevens and the 1994 election fraud resulting in the election of Democrat Tony Knowles? I know, do you?

Hint: The Murkowski Administration's “intentional cover up” investigation of Governor Frank Murkowski’s original Attorney General Gregg Renkes, who was forced to resign.

Republican Wev Shea, an attorney admitted in Alaska in 1977, has been an outspoken critic of Alaska’s GOP political corruption. He was a former U.S. Attorney for Alaska from 1990 to 1993. He also was a deputy prosecuting attorney in Honolulu from 1981 to 1982. Shea joined the U.S. Navy in 1961, serving in combat from 1967 to 1969, with a nuclear delivery certification in A-6 Intruder attack jets.

Wev,

A couple of good points, but the end of your essay is quite confusing. I think you need a better editor.

Snowzilla lives again!

Snowzilla sprouted up in Anchorage overnight, its owner, Billy Ray Powers, defying a city order to halt construction on his snowman. Speaking to reporters Tuesday morning, Billy Ray said he wasn’t sure how Snowzilla rose from the dead. “There must have been some magic in that big silk hat,” he said.

All Billy Ray Powers wanted for Christmas was to build a snowman. Not just any old snowman but his famous, two-story-tall Snowzilla—that national attraction that sprouts up around this time of year in his East Anchorage yard. A couple weeks ago, he and his seven kids began packing the first giant ball. They’d planned to make Snowzilla bigger than ever, that is until the city ordered them to cease and desist.

Federal law turns nation’s public schools into 'no-think zones'

By Alyssa Roy

Under The No Child Life Behind Act, public schools have neglected many of the time-honored learning experiences long considered staples of a well-educated person. The act requires that every child’s performance from grades 3rd through 12th be measured by standardized testing. And this has placed enormous pressure on teachers to raise test scores, or as it's known, "teaching to the test."

The voices behind a half-century of Alaska’s governors

By Joe Holbert

On Jan. 3, 2009, Alaska will officially celebrate its 50^th anniversary as a state. Thousands of Alaskans across distant geographic and often different ethnic and economic regions will commemorate the half-century birthday with festivities and ceremonies recognizing the historic celebration.

Those thousands will include seven Alaskans who dusted off memories recalling their personal opportunity in government service to witness and participant in public policy decisions by their boss at the time: the chief executive officer and governor of Alaska.
