Wow, how desperate can one get? Between this and the recent ‘Willie Horton’ type ad, his campaign is quickly heading toward freefall.

Begich is the political gamer. Begich is a worm without principles. Mae and the other shallow thinkers that support Begich are either too ill-informed or stupid to recognize his lack of principles or values. Begich’s assertion that Kohring’s stepping out of the race was orchestrated by Sullivan. Simply, ridiculous. Like the Sullivan campaign said when asjked if they were involved, “NO”
Begisch thinks that everyone is like him, constantly behind the curtain pulling the political strings just like he did to get his own party to give up the top of their gubernatorial ticket to a pro-Life conservative who doesnt like gays and promotes a value system totally the opposite of most Dems. Dan Sullivan, unlike Begich, has values and principes that aren’t for trade or sale. Now that’s a difficult concept for Mark to get his arms around.

L48 Dan cracks me up. A Kohring endorsement? A glowing Kohring endorsement.

Thanks Begich for the heads up on such a honorable and valuable endorsement! I’m sure L48 Dan is beaming with pride.

The real question is: Did L48 Dan give a specific move out date for Vic, who probably penned a deal to hang out in the Maryland house laundry room, for the “valuable” endorsement.

Hey at least Vic knows where the Salty Dog Saloon is…

Seldom to I agree with Dan Fagan. Our politics are as different as night and day. However, I do agree with his comment posted under this story.
Thank you amandacoyne.com. Your blog is a real service to the community and a beacon of fairness.
I so wish your former colleagues at the Dispatch excercised the standards you exude. Even the long time writers from the Daily News have faltered under the new ownership and Dispatch management.

Does Begich know the difference between fact and fiction? The truth and a lie? He never seems capable of discussing anything straight up. The veracity of his last television commercial characterizing the slayings in the Jerry Active case was said by the Alaskka AGG as not being based in fact. The national organizatuon Fact Check gave his ad the lowest rating (Pants on Fire) for lack of truthfulness. Here’s new word for EMBARRASSMENT when Begich is involved, we should call it an EMBEGICHMENT.

In reply to valley voter. The Sullivan campaign has not exactly been focused on issues, either. It's all about Harry Reid and Barack Obama in an implied threesome with Begich. Neither of these clowns is putting Alaska first.

In reply to Kim. Sorry. Mead Treadwell is no longer available. Big money and apathetic centrist nonvoters already made Dan Sullivan the candidate.

Thank you Amanda for being first to warn us of an evil conspiracy to cause a massive voter shift from Vic Kohring to Sullivan that will tip the election.
Actually, Derp pegged it.

Amanda is one of the few journalists in the state holding both sides accountable. Begich can count on the ADN, CH 2 and 11 to ignore his hypocrisy but not Coyne. Amanda has become a real treasure to our state.

Crystal ball says the Begich campaign means to say:

“Oops, we need a quick, cheap distraction from our last f&@$-up!”
