Yeah, he's really playing up his ties to Condoleezza Rice. He's also the former Commish. of DNR in Ak and forerm Atty. General. I think he's the next Senator.

Treadwell is probably the most qualified, but is kind of socially awkward. I've met both a quite a few times and both er genuinely nice people.

Begich has strong Alaska ties, his father disappeared with Louisiana Rep. Boggs in a plane from Anchorage to Juneau, and he's former Mayor of Anchorage. He also never graduated college. Didn't know that til he came to our place of business a month ago.
