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.
Sullivan was (mostly) viewed as the conservative alternative to (mostly) establishment Treadwell.
Of course there’s also the unelectable Joe Miller.
Although all these terms are debatable.
Seems the national estbalishment guys have shifted to Sullivan to prevent Miller from sneaking through in a three way split.
