Hello,
To the many people at work and around town who have asked if the above comment is mine: NO. It’s someone else with the same name.

Dunbar is one bright light. Just listen to him on radio. He knows everything about everything. He just seems like a genuinely nice guy too. http://www.alaskapublic.org/2014/10/24/u-s-house-candidate-forrest-dunbar/]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I watched the debate yesterday. The biggest surprise to me was Dunbar.

First of all, between Begich and Sullivan, Begich comes off as a very slick article, I don&#039;t believe anything he says. Unfortunately he is a very good communicator and I was impressed with how well he was able to get his bad ideas across. Sullivan, with whom I agree on the issues, is a poor debater. He appears awkward and waves his hands around in a very distracting manner. If he wins it is because voters know that Begich has been representing himself in DC, not us.

Don Young brought his best game to the debate. He was knowledgable, articulate and very relatable. I was surprised by how cogent he was given what I have been reading about him lately. Contrary to the tweets, he had the biggest applause line about Obamacare.

Dunbar was the surprise. He was also relatable, articulate, even likeable. He was properly respectful of Young&#039;s experience, acknowledged he was a pretty conservative Democrat, and had good answers to tough questions. Too bad he isn&#039;t a Republican. He has a definite political future in this state.

The Libertarian was just an idiot. His positions weren&#039;t even libertarian in nature.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Begich comments &quot;all you talk about is Reid and Obama&quot; &quot;this is about Alaska&quot;....

Well, It&#039;s no wonder whenever anyone talks to him they Mention Reid or Obama... Based on Begich&#039;s voting record in the senate, 97 percent of the time You don&#039;t get his attention unless you invoke Reid or Obama...]]></description>
