The Alaskan primary has gone well beyond down to the wire, as Rep. Don Young [3] (R) waits to hear whether the absentee and "question ballots" counted on September 5th will maintain his 152 vote lead (out of 93,544 cast) over Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell [4]. The winner will face former State Rep. Ethan Berkowitz [5], who won the Democratic nomination.

Ted Stevens [6], meanwhile, easily batted away his Republican challengers and will face Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich [7] on the Democratic side, as well as Libertarian David Haase [8], Veterans Party of Alaska candidate Ted Gianoutsos [9] and Alaska Independence candidate Bob Bird [10].
