In reply to Hiding.

L48 Dan is up in Fort Yukon, asking folks how does Don Young get away with listing his residency address there? Rumor has it, no one will talk about Don Young and the only question L48 Dan gets is “hows the weather in Maryland?”…

L48 Dan has also decided to float the Yukon, on a raft, just like Mark Twain did on the Mississippi (childhood dreams realized with the help of family campaign money). But honestly, his campaign staff is hoping he’ll wear that spankin new carheart coat and dirty it up. But his campaign staff, in a moment of clarity, realized Twain didn’t wear a coat, so L48 Dan probably won’t either.

Where oh where is Dan S. Sullivan? Where oh where can he be?

It looks like he stumbled his way through the fisheries debate, and then was yanked into hiding by his handlers. He isn’t campaigning, he is hiding from everyone in this state, and hiding behind the outside money that props him up.

Marky Mark has a funky bunch of outside money propping him up too, but he is actually out, reaching out to the people and taking the risks a candidate should take. Sullivan seems to display absolute disdain for the political process here. If he doesn’t wise up to the need for public involvement, for the need to expose himself to criticism and respond in a dignified, diplomatic manner- he’s at best a 1 term senator and quite possibly a 0 term senator.

I really appreciate and like your morning news wrap-up. In its short time of existence, I have really come to depend on it as my primary news source to stay on top of politics.
My only constructive criticism is to keep away from articles that come from irresponsible biased reporters like Liz Ruzkin. She might as well be on Begich’s payroll. Who knows, maybe she is. Thanks.
