Per the rhetorical-question head of this article, I wouldn’t count him out.
Many Alaskans like the earmark gravy, despite their desire to secede.
Others will see this as an opportunity to say “eff you, Washington” with their votes.
So, don’t count Ted out for re-election yet.
And, if you want a nightmare?
If he is re-elected, then expelled from the Senate, one Gov. Sarah Palin would name his replacement.
And, in many such cases, a governor resigns with the understanding the former lieutenant governor will appoint him/her.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
