Alaska percentage that voted democratic in the presidential races:

2000: 28%
2004: 36%
2008: 38%
2012: 41%

There's clearly no love for Hillary there, but looking at the trend, the crap they have to pick from for republicans, and the enthusiasm for Bernie - if he's the nominee, we might win their vote. It's a long shot, but we've seen far bigger upsets this year.
