To help him deliver his closing argument to voters in one of the country's most contentious Senate races, Republican candidate Dan Sullivan is bringing a political odd couple to Alaska.
Mitt Romney, the GOP's 2012 nominee and tacit head of the party's establishment, and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), a tea party firebrand, are both jetting to the Last Frontier to boost Sullivan in the runup to Election Day.
Sullivan, campaigning to unseat Sen. Mark Begich (D), will spend this Saturday and Sunday flying around the state with Cruz. The two will headline get-out-the-vote rallies in four of the state's main population areas -- Anchorage, the Mat-Su Valley, Fairbanks and the Kenai Peninsula -- according to a Sullivan campaign source who requested anonymity because the events have not yet been announced.
Next Monday, on the eve of the election, Romney will hold a rally with Sullivan as well as Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell (R) in the Anchorage area, the source said.
"Sniff sniff" is that desperation I smell?
I'm sorry but when you are being beaten up for relying on millions of dollars of out of state money to finance your campaign, and having advertisements made on your behalf featuring political heavyweights from the Bush administration, how in the hell does it help you to have the last failed GOP presidential candidate and the head nut from the GOP looney bin fly up to give you support?
Yes I realize that Mitt Romney won Alaska in the 2012 election, but I also know that since then he has become a pitiful shadow of his formal self, who was at that time a pitiful shadow of Ronald Reagen.
As for Ted Cruz, I think the only place in the state where he would be welcomed with open arms is in a thirty mile circumference around the home of a certain half term Governor who I am sure is getting ready to cook up that one moose chili recipe she knows in anticipation of his arrival.
I'm acquainted with a neighbor who is a dyed in the wool teabagger and he has met Ted Cruz.
ReplyDelete"He's one of the smartest people I've ever talked to"
Sigh.....
Obviously, your neighbor never mentioned the word "science" to Ted Cruz.

Well, number 1 explains number 2, doesn't it?
You mean Sarah's pretend BFF Ted Cruz AND Mittens are flying in for the weekend to DEFEAT Sarah's endorsed candidate??? Gee, the GOP and the Tea Party seem to agree that Sarah is an idiot when it comes to politics. It's six years late, but at least she has finally "progressed" them. No respect for the half-term, half-ass FB Grifter/Quitter.
DeleteSeriously AK voted for RMONEY????Do Alaskans know (or care how he helped her make a illegal campaign ad at the Caption Cook hotel?)
DeleteSo alaskans are so rich up there they identify with ROMney and MS BITCH? And that little bitch Cruz, I bet Todd wants to met him in the worst way (wink-wink). Bet me they don't end up at her fucking house? Or she at their Anchorage location?
That should be enough, with the hoedown to make Alaskans run, run run away....
but somethings in the water up there....
You can see here that since 1976 our 3 electoral votes have gone republican, actually even the popular vote went republican although in some elections by smaller margin than other. Keep in mind, the pipeline construction began in the mid 70's and that's what most of us consider the beginning of the turning "red" of Alaska. I'm going to look to find how our electorates voted prior to 1976 and if I find it I'll post it. These charts do show that our voting public is rather split down the middle between republican and democratic/independent. Looks like we love ourselves some 3rd party presidential candidates though!

I stand corrected, the bottom graphic shows that our electoral voted red in all elections since 1960 except in the 1964 race.
DeleteIn the Republican bubble world these guys are superstars. I am glad I do not live in that bubble.
ReplyDeleteNobody's really interested in your blog anymore jesse, unless you're talking about the Palin cunt or perhaps your dotter. So how about posting that picture of your dotter that you promised?
ReplyDeleteCreepy Chuckie Jr. is on the prowl again. Hey Chuck, why speak of your sister in such vulgar language?

No its creepy SR of some other sicko fuck! Hey fucker, jump off a cliff! Save the taxpayer burial at the old cemetery. You are one creep ass fucktard with your "dotter" crap. I hope G turns you ass into the FBI with your creepy ass shit.
FOAD!
The Queen is not going to like being snubbed in her own back yard. Remember it was Mitt that did not want her at the 2012 Republican National Convention. Nothing like a little salt in the wound. This could be interesting. Maybe Sarah will crash the event and bring the whole family with her in a stretch limo.
ReplyDeleteOh please, please!
DeleteHow many different endorsements does it take for for political powerhouse Saree to pick a winner, anyway? Sarah already lost once this year in her "home" state with Crazy Joe Miller for the same position.
DeleteI most definitely see a Palin photo op with Cruz involving moose stew at the sports arena--eerrrr house, flags, jesus, crazy, word salad and presidential bashing.
DeleteNow that I think about it "Stretch Limo" is what the guys in Juneau called Bristol because there was always plenty of room for everyone to take a ride.
DeleteLet the CURSE begin...I hereby call upon the PALIN CURSE to fall upon Mitt Romney & Ted Cruz flying to Alaska to stump for Dan Sullivan and Sean Parnell. WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
ReplyDeleteReckon Cruz & Mittens will get to ride in the stretch Hummer with Granny Grifter, even while they are pissing on Sarah's personally endorsed candidate?
DeleteI can't imagine either of these guys wanting or expecting to see, or campaign, w/Sarah Palin! First off, she declared she is anti Parnell and knows Dan Sullivan is not in her corner. Mitt Romney blocked her from the Republican party gathering in Florida - remember! Cruz is the teabaggers top guy now - not Sarah Palin! Neither would be interested in being seen w/her!
DeleteWonder if she was told they'd be coming to Alaska hence her 'just happening' to be out of Alaska and participating w/Piper's team?

Or better yet...participate in a brawl!!!
"His name is Milt, not Mitt. I'm the fuckin' pundint for Alaska politics."
Delete--- Lou Sarah Heath
There goes ugly-ass denture-wearing Cruz to make his bed with Palin et.al.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but doesn't ted cruz look like Eddie muster?
DeleteUh oh. I see sudden travel plans in Palin's future. So sad that she'll be gone while Sen. Ted Cruz is in town.
ReplyDeleteBet Sarah will pretend she is needed somewhere outside of Alaska as a last minute campaigner. LOL. Otherwise she would have to risk being snubbed, again, by those still in the GOP game!
DeleteNope, not me. I'm hoping she'll pick some sort of fight with them--physical or verbal as long as it's worthy of the Palin Family Brand.
DeleteWhoohaa, fix the popcorn, this could be good.
Ahhhh, that's why $arah got on the bullhorn to say she's going to piper's basketball game in Oregon!!!
DeleteWhat a weird duo to bring to Alaska! Romney didn't even campaign in Alaska when he ran for POTUS (and lost, thank god!). I would think their being here would turn off more Alaska voters than promote Dan, the carpetbagger! Weird, weird, weird!
ReplyDeleteI've already voted and it sure as hell wasn't for Parnell/Sullivan or the Ohio Dan!
I'm impressed by the Sullivan campaign's organization and planning: 4 campaign events in 4 different AK cities this Sat. and Sun. featuring Ted Cruz...but they haven't announced the events. Are they looking for an excuse to explain low turn-out?
ReplyDeleteNotice: Of the 4 venues, Anchorage, the Mat-Su Valley, Fairbanks and the Kenai Peninsula the only venue that will
ReplyDeletehost a drunken brawl will be the Mat-Su Valley. If you attend at
any other location, please do not expect drunken brawl festivities.
Did Romney campaign in Alaska during the 2012 campaign?
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
You just know they will be invited to Hoohaaah's & the pimps house for "moose hotdogs" or moose ballz or something gross b/c she is a serious, politico...
DeleteBwhahaaaahhha I jest, I jest! Thonghazi, Don't you know who I am?
Hoooohaaaaah!
Two rich white guys from very far away, in support of another rich white guy from very far away . . .
ReplyDeleteI will be voting for the real Alaskan instead.
But...but Dan Sullivan is married to a real honest to goodness Alaska Native woman and his kids are half native. I know this because they keep telling me that on the TV, and they also reminded me of that with some flyers in my mailbox. Doesn't that make Danny boy "Alaskan Native by Proxy"?
Delete;-)
She is prob 1/100th Native like the first turd...
DeleteActually Julie Fate Sullivan is Athabaskan. Grew up in Fairbanks upper middle class "white style" however her mother was involved in the Alaska Federation of Natives so they did recognize their heritage. Julie is Ivy League educated and after graduating stayed in the Lower 48 where she met Sullivan but of course followed him back to AK when he came here to work in the late 90's. So yeah, she's AK Native but left right after high school not to return until she followed her husband here for a few years and then left again until 2009 when Palin appointed him Attorney General. So she's Alaskan but not "really Alaskan".
DeleteSarah is in Oregon with Piper's basketball team, oh, gee, I sure hope she doesn't miss seeing Mitt and Ted ;-)
ReplyDeletedamnit !!
Deleteyou mean the crosseyed skank won't be here to bust out her finest paper plates, plastic sporks, and tin foil mac 'n cheese pans to serve her BFF, that greasy useless fuk'n cruz ?!?
Sarah invents a reason to be "out of town" the weekend before the General Election, because she's so embarrassed she was DISINVITED again by the Republican Party. They won't touch the Toxic Tundra Turd.
DeleteGet outta town, Stupid Sarah!
Isn't Sarah going to campaign for anyone in Alaska?
ReplyDeleteGee, when I read that I assumed they were coming from California and Texas to support Ohio Dan in Alaska.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the Koch brothers forgot that they bought Ohio Dan and now have to feed him.
You know for sure that carpetbagger, Dan Sullivan (Ohio), knows nothing about Alaskans when bringing to Alaska the likes of Cruz and Romney.
ReplyDeleteHe will lose this race for sure!!! Alaskans don't like outsiders -especially the likes of these guys!
Vote for Senator Mark Begich - the true Alaskan with a proven work history of many years for Alaskans.
I am keeping good thoughts for my friends in Alaska (which, you know, amounts to all of you guys). Please send out good energy that Nunn will defeat Perdue here-with love, from Georgia, USA
ReplyDeleteto beth0214... our GA peach... right back at cha'.... we're pulling for Nunn... and it looks good for her, from here. Also, everyone send a good karma vibe to NC's 2nd.. for Clay Aiken to oust "I need my paycheck, and bring it down to a woman's level" Ellmers. As hard as it appears, it's winnable..Go Clay!
ReplyDeleteYou didn't have to ask! Ellmers needs to go down.
DeleteWhen and where is Croozie going to be in Anchorage? I want to throw a rotten tomato at that fucking perpetual smirk of his... We need to stand our ground...
ReplyDeleteIs this an early April Fool's Day prank or the script at "how to lose anything plus your dignity at any cost"?
ReplyDeleteSomething tells me he's Add eye of Sarah and a pinch of Shrub and you've got a recipe for breaking the Guinness world record.
Oh, I got it, they're using reverse psychology!
When is Scarah going to be in Oregon? I'd love a word with her smarmy self. ;)
ReplyDeleteVernD
Loo at it this way. Cruz is clearly repudiating sister sarry and maybe Romney will bring those binders full of women with him.
