In my experience, whenever I hear anyone complain that Democrats "never" put up credible candidates, what they really mean is that they'd vote for Joseph Stalin, Jeffrey Dammer or anyone as long as they had that "R" next to their name. 

Apologies if this doesn't describe you but for the sake of discussion, can you tell us that names of any Democrats you've ever voted for over the years? 

Fair is fair so I will tell you that I, a proud liberal, have voted republican several times since I came to Alaska in 1976. I have voted for Jay Hammond, Wallt Hickel, Arliss Sturgelewski to name a few. What Dems have you voted for, Koncerned?
