How so?
Walker is also a Republican. He ran for governor in 2010, as well, and finished 2nd to Parnell (then the incumbent) in the GOP primary.
This time, he ran as an Independent from the git go...and won.
Palin endorsed him a.) as a fellow Republican and b.) because his primary issue is her issue: a natural gas pipeline to Canada and the lower 48.
Parnell had negotiated a deal for one, but had evidently given away Alaska's stake in the project. Walker wants to retain a larger share for the state...and that has been Palin's position all along.
It is incredible for a number of reasons, and a national story, or should be, it made Alaskan history.
Walker WAS a RINO who left the party cause it’s too conservative for him. In this race he was endorsed by the rats, that tells every rational person everything they need to know about him. They dropped their own campaign and had their nominee ILLEGALLY become Walker’s running mate. They do that cause Walker is more CONSERVATIVE than Parnell? Hahaha lol.
Parnell was right to cut Palin’s oil tax, the voters endorsed the tax cut. She was spiteful and foolish to endorse liberal scum because of that. Parnell is a conservative, Walker is a liberal and his LT one heartbeat away from the Governorship is an ultraliberal. This outcome is tragic for the people of Alaska. And sadly every idiot on here that supported Walker will see I’m right.
