Alaska Governor - Parnell vs. Walker
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2014/governor/ak/alaska_governor_parnell_vs_walker-5215.html
RCP Average: Walker +3.8
This is a joke, right ? That’s the left-wing ticket !
Here is the next paragraph from the article:
“The endorsement came at a reception hosted by Palin Tuesday night in which she told about 100 guests that she supports Walker and his running mate, Byron Mallott, because she trusts them to responsibly develop Alaska’s resources for the maximum benefit of the state’s residents, said a release from the Walker-Mallott campaign.”
I think it’s legit.
I wonder what Sean Parnell did to piss Sarah off to lose her support. She sang his praises when she stepped down as governor in 2009.
I thought she had confidence in Parnell.
Got rid of the ACES profit tax against the oil companies.
It’s legit. There are pictures.
It is amazing what the reply got. Never heard of ADN but the comments of the people...
The Anchorage Daily News and the Alaska Dispatch got combined into one source.

She’s helping begich, if this is true. Shameful.
Does this mean that group that had hats something to the effect of "Corrupt Old B@$T@RD$ Club" ( read her book ) is back and is Sarah is trying to fight it?
Palin is NOT helping Begich. She endorsed Joe Miller in the primary, and Miller (and the Tea Party) endorsed Sullivan after Sullivan won the primary.
The Alaska GOP is still corrupt, and Palin is still fighting the corrupt Alaska GOP.
The Republican Party is Democrat Party Lite. Kudos to Palin for finally going Independent.
Except this ticket is much to the left of Parnell
Walker has been a conservative Republican. Parnell has been a corrupt Republican. I’ll take the conservative over the corruptocrat every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
“Walker has been a conservative Republican. Parnell has been a corrupt Republican. I’ll take the conservative over the corruptocrat every day of the week and twice on Sunday.”
How conservative is he, really? He’s running with a Democrat, he’s been endorsed by Begich, he favors Medicare expansion and an increase in the minimum wage, and he’s against private school vouchers.
Ping.
Walker was a RINO, now he’s a defacto democrat. You are supporting the person that the Alaska democratic party supports, which is NEVER the more conservative candidate. You are in the wrong, Palin is in the wrong. End of story.
More disgusting than his unbelievable apostasy by Palin is that there are freepers defending and agreeing with it. Sickening.
Sarah Palin endorsed the liberal Walker because she’s pissed at Parnell for repealing some oil tax she had signed into law when she was governor (she campaigned for repeal of the repeal by voter initiative, but it fell short because the vote was held on the day of the primaries and not enough Democrats turned out to vote because the only interesting primary was the GOP Senate race). Ridiculous reason. Apparently the Palins also are friendly with the Walkers, which should be irrelevant to the endorsement of a gubernatorial candidate in a general election. “Disappointed” is far too weak a word to describe how I feel about Sarah Palin right now.
Hopefully her endorsement will cause some leftists to vote for the Libertarian and some RINOs to vote for Parnell.
