United States House of Representatives election in Alaska, 2008

The 2008 congressional election in Alaska was held on November 4, 2008 to determine who will represent the state of Alaska in the United States House of Representatives. Alaska has one seat in the House, apportioned according to the 2000 United States Census. Representatives are elected for two-year terms; whoever is elected will serve in the 111th Congress from January 4, 2009 until January 3, 2011. The election coincides with the 2008 U.S. presidential election. The primary election was held August 26, 2008.〔(Alaska Division of Elections )〕
==Background==
Alaska's At-large congressional district covers the entire state, and has been represented by Republican Don Young since 1973. He was challenged by Democratic nominee Ethan Berkowitz and Alaskan Independence candidate Don Wright.
Berkowitz won the Democratic primary against Diane E. Benson and Jake Metcalfe. The Republican primary was so close that Young and Sean Parnell needed to wait for the overseas absentee ballots, which had until September 10, 2008 to arrive and be counted. Young held a narrow lead of 239 votes after counting the other absentee and questioned ballots on September 6, 2008.〔Sutton, Anne (Young's slim lead grows a bit more in Alaska House race ) ''Anchorage Daily News'', September 6, 2008〕 Final results on September 18 showed Young winning by 304 votes, and Parnell announced that he would not seek a recount.〔Anne Sutton, ("No recount in GOP race for Alaska's House seat" ), Associated Press, September 18, 2008.〕
According to the 9/15-17 ''Research 2000'' poll for Daily Kos, Berkowitz led Young in the General election by a 53%-39% margin, with a ±4% margin of error.〔(AK-Sen, AK-AL: No "Palin bump" for House and Senate races ) kos, ''Daily Kos'', September 18, 2008〕 After the Primary, CQ Politics changed its forecast to 'Leans Democratic'.〔(CQ Politics Forecast )〕 ''The Cook Political Report'' ranked it 'Republican Toss Up' and ''The Rothenberg Political Report'' rated it 'Democrat Favored'.
On November 12, 2008, Young was declared the winner, retaining the seat for his 19th term, despite a strong challenge from Berkowitz. Young was proclaimed winner, getting 50% of the vote compared to Berkowitz's 45%.〔(ap.google.com, Young retains US House seat in Alaska )〕〔(kfor.com, Young retains US House seat in Alaska )〕
