Sorry, boss. Only the citizens of the state of Alaska can vote him out- and despite the embarrassment he's become, a lot of local/state voting comes down to "how much money he's gotten for the state".
Well I know, my opinion can't count for anything but...
I've heard somewhere that 98% of incumbents are re-elected... Assuming that is accurate, that right there would raise a flag in my mind. THINGS CAN'T CHANGE if 98% or elected officials are re-elected time after time. Also makes it difficult to adapt to changes in the modern world (I know, it sounds cliche). Possibly the system makes it too easy for the incumbent to focus on re-election other then then taking the hard choices. I think the way the officials are re-elected can be something all USA citizens can have a word to say about.
What you have read is true: »www.google.com/search?hs=TME&hl=···G=Search

And the scariest part of this story is that this is the same if not higher percentage than that of former Commie one-party systems had.
In fact the one I grew up under had more fluctuation...

LOL, and some Americans want to export their democratic system to countries that "need it"!?! Ok I shouldn't laugh, this could start into a flame war.

But on a more serious note, have you watched the BUSH/German chancellor press conference that was featured last night on Jon Stewart? An American journalist was asking a serious question to the US president regarding the middle-east and he answered something like:"I thought you where going to ask me about slicing the pig?". Could he have been expecting a rehearsed question or an easy question just because the journalist was American and gotten a surprise REAL question instead? Either way, it was funny, but didn't sound very good.
