Alaska Gov. Bill Walker announced Friday he is dropping his bid for re-election and endorsing Democrat Mark Begich against Republican Mike Dunleavy.
Walker made the announcement Friday afternoon at the Alaska Federation of Natives Convention, three days after former Lt. Gov. Byron Mallott stepped down from both his office and the re-election campaign over unspecified "inappropriate comments" he made to a woman.

Begich was a rat and he got the Senate seat.
Murkowski is the de facto rat and was elected with their help.
Walker was their de facto candidate, too.
So that’s three times in the past decade Alaska has voted that way.

What a phony he was. He got out of the race fast as soon as he was in first place in the polls before getting back in to serve as spoiler. He just wanted to help elect Bubba the rapist.

Jeeze.... Did you not get the Mainstream Media memo about this??

As I recall, Begich was a hardcore leftist during his time in Congress. I seriously doubt that anything has changed.
Alaska now has a chance to do a “Palin” on the Dems and the “independent” Governor who sounds like he’s facing a scandal or blackmail of some kind.

“...apparently tried to hit on a 16 year old girl...”
Probably just a missunderstanding.
“Dang- I thought you were one of them hired by the Democrat Party for the convention? I guess I should have known - you’re a bit too old. Anyhow - do you know where they’s at?”

You keep far too busy to glue your eyes anywhere.
And thank God for that!
Too many people fixate on a few simple things far too often.

Looks like Walker and Murkowski are indications of some dishonesty among some of Alaska’s Republicans....and some really brain-frozen citizenry..

“Shouldnt Dunleavy clean up even more now? What a disaster Begich would be for us Alaskans, least educated governor in the nation.”
______________
Yes he should. Walker will still be on the ballot, and early voting has already begun. This will not help Begich much at all.

Education has no bearing on how smart a person is. I don’t know much about this guy though.

From that poll:
Poll Date Sample MoE Dunleavy (R) Begich (D) Spread
Alaska Survey Research 10/12 - 10/14 500 LV 4.4 52 45 Dunleavy +7
Alaska Survey Research 10/1 - 10/6 500 LV 4.4 55 41 Dunleavy +14
Alaska Survey Research 9/21 - 9/25 500 LV 4.4 50 47 Dunleavy +3
That's what I call a solid lead.

They’re being blackmailed. What the subject is, I can only guess.

Yep, that is correct. She stayed on the ballot as a Republican write-in candidate.

Alaska has a lot of freebie-loving freeloaders.
They’re drawn in by the free rockingchair money.

I’m quite sure it will make no difference in the outcome.
No one’s “endorsement” has ever made me vote for someone.

To: scottinoc
I know a TON of super uber libtard Democrats that live in Alaska. You'd think they wouldn't be tough enough but then considering most hail from the area of New England or Minnesota, that has to factor into the issue. Have they tried any egregious gun control proposals out there? If not, that's coming. It's been done in Vermont of all places.
