Golly! You said that very nicely. :-)
I’m not going to engage in bashing of her as others might (the haters’ “quitter” schtick is old, stupid and easily refutable when the facts are laid out). I just don’t agree with her endorsement (and I think I’ve only disagreed with her on two, the other being McCain).
Walker-Mallott is the opposition Democrat ticket, and whatever problems are going on with Parnell, I don’t expect the state will improve under a Dem ticket. Stick with Parnell for now and get a new Republican Conservative in 2018.
