Alaskan Sunlight & Disclosure
Sunlight in Alaska comes in overabundance during the summer, with daylight that lasts 21 hours, and is sorely lacking during the winter, when many parts of the state get just an hour of daylight. But this fall, Alaskans have had plenty of sunlight on two of its most famous politicians: Senator Ted Stevens and Governor Sarah Palin, regarding their disclosures of political expenditures and gifts.Disclosure forms aren't the sexiest thing in politics. Yet this admittedly dry topic may land Stevens in jail and could be one of the factors that cost Palin a shot at being Vice President.
