While Begich runs through the state picking up support, Stevens will be in court in Washington DC generating the wrong kind of headlines back home.The CW was that Parnell would cruise to victory had he pulled off his primary, but this poll suggests that it would've still been an uphill climb for the GOP to retain this seat. As is, this is one of the top pickup candidates for Democrats this cycle. And since Parnell would be Berkowitz likely opponent in 2010, this suggests that the matchup wouldn't be as lopsided as once thought.
As for the presidential, if nothing else, Palin has locked down her state's three electoral votes, with McCain leading 55-38. The last time we polled this state, it was 51-41 McCain. So the Palin effect? None down-ballot, and about seven points at the presidential level. Not too impressive.
