On the morning of the vice-presidential debate, two big pieces of news that closely affects the Alaska political landscape. First is that today is the day that arguments are due to take place before Anchorage Superior Court Judge Peter Michalski on a suit by five Republican legislators to quash the Alaska legislative Troopergate investigation. Michalski may even rule today.
The other: a prosecutorial error in the trial of Sen. Ted Stevens has brought his trial to a screeching halt, & may possibly result in a mistrial.
