If Begich was "ineffectual," Gegonos, then why did Vets support him here in Alaska?  You must've had your head deep into the Murky bubble and couldn't see or hear what most of us heard.  I was at the AFN convention and Begich received not only the AFN endorsement, but he also received a standing ovation, which Danny Boy didn't.  All Danny Boy received was one person clapping their index fingers together.
