| Former Democratic candidate Byron Mallott, with Bill Walker in the background. |
The race for governor of Alaska took a decided turn into the wild on Tuesday when the Democratic candidate, Byron Mallott, said he would withdraw and run instead for lieutenant governor alongside an independent candidate, Bill Walker.
The decision means that for the first time since Alaskan statehood in 1959, no Democrat will be on the ballot for governor.
Mr. Mallott said he became convinced, after days of soul-searching and analysis of the polling data, that reshuffling the deck was the only path to victory over Gov. Sean Parnell, a Republican who is seeking his second term.
The unity ticket with Mr. Walker was announced in Anchorage on Tuesday afternoon after a weekend of negotiations between the campaigns, and hours before the deadline for changes to the November ballot.
On Tuesday night, Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell, a Republican, granted the emergency declaration of a ballot change requested by Mr. Walker and Mr. Mallott. But it is possible that the decision could be challenged.
Of course Parnell's spokesman claimed that they were not troubled by this and quickly accused Walker of being a Democrat all along.
However I think Parnell IS worried about this, and I think he has good reason to be.
Alaska has been under the influence of the Palin for almost a decade now, and we desperately need to get somebody in control of the state who is not governing under the influence of the Wasilla Wendigo.
Damn, Palin must be pissed and spitting nails.. errr salads!
ReplyDeleteShe's too busy "studying" what it takes to be a hands-on DS "mom" for her next big speech. As in Game Change (Emmys!), think of her with the index cards.complete with pointy fingers, rolling it over and over in her head trying to memorize.
DeleteOt-
DeleteBut the democratic Senate challenger from kansas just pulled out of the race.
Shit.
That face! Dear God, That face! ! :(
DeleteHold me. I'm scared.
I was a little surprised to hear of this a few days ago but it makes so much sense. And it's an Alaska thing to do.
ReplyDeleteImagine Captain Zero the Oil Lobbyist and his wingman Dirty Dan Sullivan, the spoiled thieving rich kid whoremonger... the same corrupt stink as the Palin administration.
I can hardly wait to cast my vote for the Walker/Mallott ticket!
ReplyDeleteParnell cannot be reelected due to the horrible job he has done - he has not been a friend to Alaskans!
Yeah, Sarah hates Sean as much as you.
Delete$100 bucks she's for Walker

****
Ummm I doubt it. She has "had her way" all this time with SP v 2.0 using the AK IT dept to hack blogs and such, what will she do if SP v 2.0 loses!?
Ha, they may even investigate her and the toad!
She has to be shitting bricks!
If I were an Alaskan voter, I'd want to know how Walker/Mallott will deal with, among other things, executive branch ethics and transparency--private email accounts, the Personnel Board, etc..
ReplyDeleteI imagine Parnell will do a massive, Romney-type computer cleanse before leaving the Governor's office.
My favorite face of her...mean, bitter, vengeful and just oozing Bitch. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteNot so fast there, anonymous 6:02PM, if that's really your name.
DeleteAccording to the former IM Troll, she:
- is nice, down to earth, far from the worst, close, warm, real, not seedy, valley trash, caring, gracious, employed, generous, busy, sweet, non-judgmental, sunshine on a gloomy day, the best mom, hard working, private, intelagunt, living vibrantly, happy...
While IM commenters:
- are haters, nasty, suckers, a waste of space, layabouts, immature, bored, dumb, seriously disturbed, pieces of filth, classless, ignorant, jealous, mean, unhappy, liars, slanderers, pathetic, losers, liberal...
- don't know her, minimize people, demean people, attack people with no real problems, spread false myths on blogs out of hate, don't have lives...
- should get lives, grow up, shut up, go away...
Even worser, "Gryphen":
- is probably not even his real name, matters not, tries to ruin people, is criminal, not a great father, a lying putz, just ignorant, revels in ignorance, knows nothing
Looks like Granny forgot to put in her uppers again! That's what you get, Sarah, for sniffing your seat while looking for a dollar bill taped under it, or free gum.
DeleteI wish you were the only troll, oh Beldar the magnificent! The other one is so boring.
DeleteAnd wasn't that photo taken when she was under McCain's "improvement" people? She never looked or had it so good as during that campaign, yet she was making "dissatisfaction" faces.
DeleteFollowing suit in KS
ReplyDeleteWow, if the comments on the ADN article are any indication, Parnell better start sprucing up his resume'
ReplyDeleteAnd keep in mind, there are many such as myself that are tickled pink about it yet cannot comment on ADN because it could potentially cause me to be unemployable in this state.
DeleteIt's unfortunate, but many of us would be subject to severe retaliation if we publicly voiced our opinion.
Same scenario happening in KS. Sound plan in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteThat Sunflower State senate race is getting very interesting. It's hard to keep up with all that is happening so quickly. I think the Republicans are terrified of losing that long-held seat.
Deletep.s. I am LOL'ing my head off at Gov. Blowback's latest commercials. He seems to be in full blown desperation mode. His chucky-like smile is terrifying!
If I were the Palin refrigerator, I'd be nervous. Ding, there goes another flying object.She must have the only household in the USA which could use a padded refrigerator.
ReplyDeleteYou are seriously psychotic with your delusions
Delete3:13 Good morning, Bristles! Just woke up, and discovered your one night stand snuck off already??
Delete"Anonymous5:28 AM

-----------------------------------
I'm not sure that is Bristol. I'm pretty sure "psychotic" would be spelled "sikotik" if it were her.
Sarah had her stainless still fridge replaced with a Nerf model long ago,
DeleteDid chucktard get fired from school already?
DeleteSo it's official. The Alaska Independent candidate and Democratic candidate have joined forces to defeat the scourge of Sean Parnell.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean Sarah and Todd Palin will be finally going to prison? Good for you Alaska. Git Er Done.
Woot woot Hump Day! Bend over Sarah and Todd.
DeleteYou know, I doubt it. But who knows.
DeleteIt would be nice if all of the State officials were held accountable for their actions.
lol Sarah will vote for walker
DeleteMaybe the police dept. in Wasilla can be cleaned up? I seriously think the PayMe's used blackmail to keep people in line. It certainly was not with BRAINS, since both are lacking in that department.
DeleteOK, I'm not from Alaska, but I can hear canned goods hitting the fridge as RAM files her claws, sugars up, and turns on the Facebook Manifesto aka "50 shades of WTF?".
ReplyDeleteSmart Move!!!!!
lol People are so desperate to draw connections where there are none
Delete3:13 Hello, this is a sign we are CLOSE to the truth, when the troll shows up.
DeleteThis particular troll sounds kinda "special". Very busy, very early this morning.
DeleteI most definitely think we need to get GinaM to run an analysis of this troll scat, right away!
So when Parnell loses and flees to Arizona along with Sarah, Todd, their delinquents and the Heath family, can they be all be extradited back to Alaska?
ReplyDeleteYou betcha.
DeleteParnell will probably go back to the oil industry from which he came - Conoco specifically. Or, lobby for the industry?
DeleteStop slandering the Heaths.
DeleteThe Heaths are in on the grift, taking "postage" plus "Word of the Day" $$$ from the Pac. Seriously, "Word of the Day" is for kindergartners, not ADULTS, except where the PayMes are concerned. They need help, to keep away from "like," "awesome" "whatnot" plus just about any two syllable work skank uses.
DeleteHow long after Parnell loses will we find out who really birthed Trig?
ReplyDeleteAnybody got a stopwatch?
DeleteWhat does a precious child with a loving family have to do with this political race?
DeleteNo one thinks about Sarah anymore. She has no influence in AK politics
3:12 If no one thinks about her, why is she fighting for air time on her little TV channel, and the hard to find "adventure" show?? The entire family needs her to stay in the spotlight, to support their lazy asses.
DeleteAnonymous3:12 AM
DeleteWhat does a precious child with a loving family have to do with this political race?
****
Well it must of meant SOMETHING to SOME POLITICAL race for her to concoct a hair brained lyin' skank assed pack of lies that she came up with, ooooohhhh and the coverup, also,too!
She better not stop paying hush money...if sp loses...
What's going to happen to Dr. CBJ and her license?
ReplyDeleteWhat are you on? Why are you namedropping random people? And slandering them?
DeleteAnon@311a, you really do need to pick up your game if you expect to keep up with the Honorable Reverend Herr Doktor Professor BJC. Maybe get up earlier in the morning? Or, idk, learn a few new words? Just a thought. Hugs and kisses.
Delete3:11 CBJ is far from "random" She violated her oath by aiding and abbeting a lie, and fraud.
DeleteWhat does this mean for Kristan Cole, trustee of the Alaska Fund Trust , Sarah Palin and DairyGate?
ReplyDeleteWho is Kristen Cole and what does she have to do with former Gov Sarah Palin?
DeleteNice playacting
DeleteKristan is a bigwig in real estate
DeleteI have NO DOUBT that the FBI has a bulging file, ready and waiting for the dam to burst after this election.
DeleteKristan Cole was appointed by SP as Chairwoman of the Board of Agriculture when SP thought she would jump in and save the dairy industry. Under her, many illegal loans were made, loans were forgiven for Palin buddies and millions laundered. Kyle Beus is in jail now for fraud and Karen Olson's sentencing is coming up. Connected people will walk free.
ReplyDeleteParnell - gov of Alaska that is currently up for reelection - Palin's buddy- gave some of these loans from the State of Alaska secured by our government. One loans was actually secured by cheese! Did the loans default by any chance?
DeleteParnell is completely diffrent from Palin. The two don't agree on anything
DeleteDoes Sarah practice those grimaces and ugly faces in the mirror, or is she just naturally hideous?
ReplyDeleteSarah's questionable behavior as mayor and governor has taken its toll.
DeleteSue @ 7:57. I've wondered if she ever watches her playback and sees how awful she looks when she makes those awkward facial gestures.
DeleteI know a couple young women who were studying broadcast journalism. They studied their film endlessly looking for facial tics and voice inflections that would turn off an audience with the goal of 'fixing' them. Palin seems to run with hers. I can't watch or listen to her video anymore. Scanning a transcript of one of her rants is more than enough. Gag me.
That is how everyone looks. The difference is, YOU dont have 100 people taking pics all the time.
Delete3:09 This is NOYT how everyone looks. All the hate and bile she spews is back to haunt her. They say that you are born with one face, but by the time you are 50 (which she is) you have the face that you have EARNED. Hers is altered by Botox, plastic surgery and is STILL ruined by her hatred inside. Her looks may have taken her just so far, but they are long gone. Intelligence was something she never had. (along with Trig, also too)
DeleteWho is Karen Olson? Why is she getting sentenced and what's her connection with Sarah Palin?
ReplyDeleteKaren Olson was one of the owners of Sarah's dairy. She got caught up in a fraudulent deal involving a $650,000 USDA grant that was used improperly. She had also previously defaulted on a $2,000,000 State of Alaska loan 20 years ago. She was found guilty in a jury trial and will be sentenced next month. Great job FBI!
Deletethey tried to fleece the cows, eh? ...no sense in suing over spilled milk unless it alsotoo puts the big cheese in the cooler
DeleteMore bad news for Sarah...
ReplyDeleteIt's official Nicole Wallace will join "The View" starting Sept. 15.
Good news for Sarah. I bet she's enjoying this
DeleteI bet Sarah's laughing. WH job -> a joke show like the View.
DeleteDid you forget to take your medication?
DeleteI'm delighted Nicole Wallace is the one picked for "The View". She'll be a perfect fit!
ReplyDeleteI agree. She and Rosie Perez. Not a blonde among them!!
DeleteCan't you just imagine Her Heinous tuning in every single day just to see if it would be the day that Nicole accidentally spilled the beans on her? Let's start a refrigerator repair shop in Wasilla - we'll be rich in no time!
Not a Nicole fan and like Rosie in smallish doses but will say each of them is able to function in a group setting. The art of conversation is so critical to making these yak shows work.
DeleteDespite the fact that she's boring, irritating and fake, Palin demands all the air in the room, thinking only her voice should be heard. She has no interest in conversations, all she wants to do yammer and preach, get paid and go home. Interested in no opinion but her own.
Oh well, she's got her $PC now! Where, as she says, she is there '24/7 7 days a week'. As if botching the phrase wasn't idiotic enough, it also became just another lie. She's barely there and the special paid content is free for the asking.
The remaining bots who still don't get the grift deserve to have their wallets lightened and their minds jumbled.
Never mind $arah, she's trying to memorize her index cards with those pointy fingers whirling around, as she repeats what's been written for her, so she can speak on how hard it is to hands-on parent Trig, which she does NOT do, for the upcoming "Life" conference.
Delete"Pass me a baby, not the retarded one."
"The remaining bots who still don't get the grift deserve to have their wallets lightened and their minds jumbled."
DeleteMission Accomplished.
24/7 7 days a week?
DeleteThat's fucking classic Palin right there.
"... thinking only her voice should be heard. She has no interest in conversations..."
Delete------------------------------------------
She is okay with other voices as long as they are talking to her about her.
She cannot function in a group unless she is the star topic. She cannot even fake an interest in other subject. She sees no reason to talk unless it is about herself.
Nicolle is better than many, but she's still a walking talking point and can't give an honest conversation without fear of losing her status in the republican party.
DeleteParnell is a wimp - no personality - has been a horrid governor and badly needs to be replaced.
ReplyDeleteAlaska is rated the worst state in the union based on their financial shape - under the Parnell's administration!
All Republicans need to be voted out of office in Alaska if they are up for reelection in November. To include Alaska Legislature 'red' members!
Vote for the Walker/Mallott ticket, Alaskans!
Hey, $arah. Bad day for you. Why no comment on the ISIS beheadings yet? Your family friend Jeremy Morlock, perhaps? Yeah, we remember.
ReplyDeleteGee, you're awfully quiet.
lol You have no idea what you're talking about.
DeleteTrue psychos name drop those whom they don't know.
Why would she have a bad day about AK politics? She isn't in office and doesn't have a dog in the fight. I would be SHOCKED if she didn't vote for Walker.
Delete"Anonymous3:07 AM
Deletelol You have no idea what you're talking about.

----------------------------------
Well, you would know, wouldn't you, honeybunch?
3:07 True psychos like $carah, always mentioning our President whom she does not know? Well, along with all the other people, places and facts that are not known to her.
Deletelol Sean and Sarah couldn't dislike each other more. I'm still shocked they were Gov/Lt. They agreed in terms of family and I don't think dislked each other's company when they spent time together OUTSIDE politics.
ReplyDeletebut his admin has nothing to do with her. That is obvious. His decisions VASTLY contradict her beliefs in govt.
He is in oil's pocket. She is democrat in that regard and believes in her tax plan on oil.
Up late, Sarah?
DeleteParnell made sure her emails were withheld for years and then heavily redacted. He was involved in the coverup of Todd's prostitution ring. Nuff said......
DeleteSarah will vote for Walker.
ReplyDeleteMaybe, like Bristles, she will forget to vote at all?
DeleteWell, trollsie certainly has its panties in a twist about this post. Trollmaster Beldar the Magnificent needs to add "lol" to his template.

ReplyDeleteHow is THIS Obama's fault?
(I know everything is HIS fault...but how on earth is this his fault? If anything its PALINS fault b/c Alaskans are fucking sick of her ass and SP v 2.0 is the same as her)
