Does Alaska have runoffs? If not, what are three candidates doing in this race?
So long as conservatives choose to let two or three conservative candidates go up against the hand picked GOPe candidates, they can expect to be disappointed. These two guys are likely to split the vote, letting Sullivan cruise to victory.
Notice two things:
The right seems to split its vote (mebbie just bought and paid for by RINOs.).
The press NEVER, EVER MENTIONS ANY ISSUE IN THE CAMPAIGN—it’s all ‘who’s ahead, who’s behind, who’s coming up kind of BS!’
The name that stands out here is Mitch McConnell. By now there should be no argument that he is an enemy of conservatism.
But what should also be mentioned is that he does SO MUCH harm to conservatism that a freshman Democrat taking his seat would be *less* harmful. Assuming that Republicans still control the senate.
If before the write in votes are made before the November election, the Tea Party gets out the message to *abandon* McConnell to his fate by just *not* voting for him, and in doing so, McConnell loses his seat, it will send shockwaves throughout the Republican leadership.
With the loss of Cantor, it would be a devastating, one-two punch against the GOP-e.
Yet his challengers, Joe Miller and Mead Treadwell.
Why are the GOP-e opponents splitting their votes? Which is more important, beating the GOP-e guy, or their own egos and getting names for themselves? Those opposed to the GOP-e need to be united in that opposition, not divided.
