Yes, that's right!

With Tuesday's indictment of Senator Ted Stevens, the August 26 Republican primary in Alaska is now WIDE OPEN!!!

Challenging Stevens in the Republican primary are two viable candidates, former state representative Dave Cuddy and newcomer Vic Vickers. Vickers has a lot of money to spend, he's putting $750,000 into his own campaign but is a newcomer to Alaska with no name recognition.

Then, there's former state representative Dave Cuddy, who is a RON PAUL REPUBLICAN who ran against Stevens in the 1996 Senate primary and garnered 27% of the vote. Cuddy has been endorsed by the Republican Liberty Caucus.

This time around, Cuddy could WIN the nomination, the Senate seat, and the seat across from Ron Paul at the lunch table. He is against the War, the Patriot Act, the REAL ID, and the endless entitlement programs and congressional earmarks. He is for a strong dollar, a sensible monetary policy, securing the border and protecting our 2nd Amendment rights.



Cuddy, a former state representative who made a small fortune working in his family’s banking business, said the main issues he’s focused on this election are the $10 trillion national debt, the declining value of the dollar and the disintegration of the family.

“The biggest thing I see is that members of Congress all across the country have made such a mess of our economy, our foreign policy, our dollar, our Social Security, and our Medicare,” Cuddy said. “And they are continuing to get voters to focus on pork and special interest to divert attention from the real problems.”

Cuddy said he wants to campaign on national issues that affect Alaskans and not focus too much on the ongoing corruption investigation involving Stevens’ ties to former VECO boss Bill Allen. Still, Cuddy said he’s concerned with the influence congressional earmarks have had on the state.

“Many of us have lost sight of the fact that our Congress is here to protect our liberties, provide for a strong economy, stand behind our Constitution, and provide for our national defense,” Cuddy said. “Its primary duty is not to offer sugar and candy and pork and special favors to individuals and corporations.”

It’s a Jeffersonian view that favors limited government and representation by citizen legislators to avoid the corrupting influence of special interests.

“This is a wonderful country, and we just need to get back on track,” he said. “At some point, it’s just going to take the citizen legislators to stand up and fix it.”

Stevens first faces several Republican challengers in the August primary. A poll by Ivan Moore Research last week showed Stevens with 70.4 percent of the support in the primary, with developer David Cuddy in a distant second with 20.4 percent.

"Today's news has blown a big fat hole in that," pollster Ivan Moore said Tuesday.

'UP IN SMOKE'?

Moore said he doubts Stevens can survive even the Republican primary now. Fellow pollster Hellenthal, who often works for Republicans, went even further.

"Ted's prospects for winning the primary, they obviously just went up in smoke," Hellenthal said . "It kind of opens up the Republican primary."

Hellenthal said Cuddy would be the odds-on favorite for the Republican nomination but has run a lackluster campaign so far. He said a wild card is Alaska political newcomer Vic Vickers, owner of a Florida-based maritime company, who said Monday he plans to spend $750,000 of his own money on winning the primary.

The other possibility is that Stevens could lose in the GOP primary — an outcome Alaska political analysts were openly contemplating Tuesday.

Hellenthal said that real estate developer Dave Cuddy is now the favorite to win the Republican nomination. Cuddy, who once served in the Alaska state Legislature, challenged Stevens in a 1996 GOP primary.

Cuddy won 27 percent of the vote against Stevens after spending more than $1 million of his own fortune in the race. He ran as an unstinting conservative, attacking Stevens over unwillingness to cut federal spending.

“This might be a blessing in disguise if we’re able to replace Stevens with a credible candidate who doesn’t have the burden of his baggage,” said a leading GOP operative. “That race was going to be difficult at best. Now, at least, we may have a shot.”

------------

We need to take urgent and immediate action to get Cuddy elected to the US Senate. We need a money bomb set up for him, we need to get volunteers on the ground and get the word out to our supporters in Alaska ASAP.

The opportunity is here, it's up to us if we seize on it or not.

I'm all for Senator Paul. We don't want to lose Ron Paul's seat either. We'd need to fill that with a pro RP supporter.

According to The National Review, there is some good news in Alaska: The Republican Liberty Caucus endorsed candidate for U.S. Senate, David Cuddy, is gaining ground as a result of the legal and ethical troubles facing incumbent Ted Stevens. According to the paper:

“David Cuddy, the more conservative of the two, is now talked about as the favorite for the nomination. He described the Alaska Senate contest as a defining moment for the GOP. ‘This is a key race to figure out whether the Republicans really get it after our losses in 2006,’ he told National Review Online. ‘Everybody looks at Ted Stevens as a poster-boy for overspending and raiding Social Security. If the national party continues to support him with the indictments, it will be a sign that no lesson was learned.’

A former state legislator and banker who challenged Stevens unsuccessfully in 1996, Cuddy describes himself as a pro-lifer and a libertarian-leaning conservative — not dissimilar to Ron Paul except for his more moderate approach to the Iraq war. ‘We have to stop acting as the world’s policeman, but we can’t just leave there overnight,’ Cuddy said.”

Please do what you can to support Dave Cuddy.

Sure we can. I'm skeptical of this guy. His website doesn't mention the federal reserve.

This is a move in the right direction! You are right that this is the most likely place to get a non neocon elected to the US senate. That is a huge step.

Bah! Who cares if he hasn't figured out the federal reserve thing, if he agrees on so many other issues.

If we are only going to support people with the exact same views as RP then we are doomed from the start. we need a big massive huge tent if we are to have any success, and seriously this guy sounds right on 90% of the issues, it wont get much better then that.

Well, that's against Stevens. Alaska is a pretty Republican leaning state, and with someone like this that would make a clean break from the corruption of Stevens, I wouldn't be surprised if those numbers turned around.

I agree. The Alaskans are sick of Stevens and might vote for the Dem if they don't have a new choice. The Alaska RP people need to get behind this guy.

Yes. I was just reading an article about Stevens's problems and they quoted a man who still supported him. This guys words were something like "he always brings home the money" Now that is a great endorsement of for a Republican:rolleyes:

Brian Gentry, former Ron Paul state coordinator in Virginia, writes about Dave Cuddy.



Republican Dave Cuddy, who by the way is a die-hard Ron Paul supporter, will be challenging Big-government Republican incumbent Ted Stevens in Alaska.

With Ted Stevens being 83 years old, and possibly facing an FBI investigation, Dave Cuddy has a good chance of defeating Stevens. And even better, Cuddy has A LOT of money to spend on the election.

Visit Cuddy’s website and check him out yourself.
