On Wednesday, GOP Senate candidates Mead Treadwell, Joe Miller and Dan Sullivan took to the stage for a Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce debate. Word is that Miller was the most comfortable, Treadwell had the best one-liners, and Sullivan didn’t make any big mistakes. Here are some tweets from the debate.
Candidates out on stage. Miller looks like he’s most in his element big smiles. #akelect pic.twitter.com/IMaA9X9JPr — Matt Buxton (@FDNMPolitics) August 6, 2014
Miller: “Murkowski has voted with Obama 72 percent of the time. … And both Treadwell and Sullivan support her.” #akelect — Matt Buxton (@FDNMPolitics) August 6, 2014
By “out in front” Treadwell means “out of state” traveling on public’s dime to LG events (while raising money for campaign) #aksen — Alaska Democrats (@AlaskaDemocrats) August 6, 2014
Law of Sea Treaty within in one vote of passage. Questions why Treadwell would support treaty that allows UN to tax Americans. — Joe Miller (@JoeWMiller) August 6, 2014
MT to Miller: “Joe, I live in the real world.” It makes sense to protect our shores from oil spills & foreign fishing in our waters. #aksen — Treadwell for Senate (@Mead_Treadwell) August 6, 2014 Treadwell: That was a sleaze ball move™ on the part of Begich and his pals cutting the VA. #akelect — Matt Buxton (@FDNMPolitics) August 6, 2014
@AlaskaDemocrats Also, Reid cut off amendments on the bill which @MarkBegich says he opposes. Sure you want to go down that path? #aksen
Sullivan asks about veterans work to Treadwell. Treadwell answers well. Sullivan uses it to talk about his service/VA work. #akelect — Matt Buxton (@FDNMPolitics) August 6, 2014

@kylekohli http://t.co/HoDFsv03q9 “The Google” could be a valuable research tool, not that tabloid writers really need facts. — Alaska Democrats (@AlaskaDemocrats) August 6, 2014

GOP Candidates talk about raising kids yet those on record oppose Denali KidCare. #aksen — Alaska Democrats (@AlaskaDemocrats) August 6, 2014
