“Strangest ticket” because they are putting partisan politics behind them and doing what’s best for the state of Alaska? To me that sounds like two true Alaskans that realize another four years of Parnell would leave our state broke and in an energy crisis because of his lack of leadership and transparency. Parnell has had more than FIVE YEARS to address Alaska’s major issues and all he has done is crippled us financially with his useless studies of projects and lack of discipline and leadership to make tough budget cuts. He had his chance and he blundered it. Walker/Mallott is the fresh start Alaska needs, in order to put partisan politics on the side and start doing what’s best for Alaska. It is essestial we, Alaskans, act now and make sure our voice is heard at the polls, before it’s too late.

Straight. Fair enough. And if someone has a blog and erases vague accusations about people that blogger loves, then I’d understand that person erasing them.

Fair enough. Same could be said by someone about pretty much any organization, state agency, or office holder for that matter — anyone who gets bashed in public is someone’s loved one, which is worth remembering, I think.

Doubt the Juneau Empire is going to sway any votes, they couldn’t even get the name of the Juneau mayor spelled right!

It was about my former place of employment, and people there who I love.

Now you’ve got us all curious…

Yes, Bill Walker is a nut-job. He could never have won a primary (and did not of course) but here he is at the top of a ticket supported by the Alaska Democratic Party. This is by far the strangest ticket of either party in the United States today.

Moreover, Bill Walker and Byron Mallott have long supported, either together or each in turn, the very issues and measures their supporters find repulsive. Byron Mallot presided over shutting down union logging while Sealaska Corp. clearcut enough old growth on Prince of Wales Island that it could easily be seen from the moon. Walker opposes a woman’s right to choose abortion, beginning at conception no matter the circumstances. Walker is less pro-union than is his opponent, and Mallot has no record of helping unions whatsoever, not as Sealaska CEO or as an Alaska Airlines board member. Environmentalists have no reason to support the arcane Walker-Mallot ticket. This will forever be known as the tinfoil hat ticket.

Feel free to erase my response as well, if you like.
