(CNN) -- CNN projects independent candidate Bill Walker has won the Alaska gubernatorial race, defeating Republican incumbent Sean Parnell. Walker, a lawyer and local politician, is the first independent to win the seat in Alaska's statehood. The former Valdez mayor and city councilor announced that he would run as an independent in 2013 after Parnell defeated him by a wide margin in the 2010 Republican primary en route to becoming governor.

way to go Alaska...
Sarah Palin supported Walker over the corrupt liberal Republican, RINO, business as usual Murkowski machine that got Parnell to do its bidding as governor.
I’m glad Walker won and the crony capitalists of the energy industry that did business with the Murkowskis lost....
That's just silly. Sarah Palin in stupid and has no influence ...Chris Matthews said so.
If you can bear to go to the cnn site, check the stats for votes by race and ideology. Pretty revealing. Well, not really when you think about the dhimmiokkkrat lie mobiles that go around passing out false promises.
sounds like you have better info then I ...if Palin supported Walker, then its all good....
walker teamed up with the democrat in a “unity ticket” to win. so, it’s a long damn ways from “all good”
No it’s not. Unless you support oweing a debt to democrats. And petty Palin political payback.
“sounds like you have better info then I ...if Palin supported Walker, then its all good....”
Actually Palin nearly put the oil industry out of business in Alaska through her PUNITIVE TAXES. Parnell tried to fix that...and for that he was taken out.
But since Palin can “do no wrong” all is fine...and we forget that Palin, TO THIS DAY, still has not renounced John McCain’s Amnesty.
Among 'Latinos', Dems 62/36 over Pubs
Among Asians, Reps 50/49 over Dems.
That was considerably better for the Pubs than in the past.
Still, certain segments remain over 90% ignorant. If I needed a marketing entity, I’d want to know who the dhimmiokkkrats use cause they are GOOD! An empty promise is still a promise.
Hyperbole much?
Palin’s revenge.
Of course, the LSM is ignoring this inconvenient fact.
In broad strokes, Gov. Palin brought in a sliding scale royalty that had a higher percentage at high crude prices and a lower percentage at low crude prices. Gov. Parnell brought in a flat rate: a flat percentage. The two plans were revenue neutral at about $100 on WTI. WTI has dropped from $105 to $76 since early July.
So Palin's plan raised less revenue for the State and was easier on the oil companies over the past four months. It could just as easily have been the other way around, of course.
Despite the furor, I think that it was a non-issue.
Yes, she has.
Did she say that she has a problem with Amnesty? I didn’t see it in her postings...
