Unrelated note, Ak. will have no Democrat running for governor against the Republican incumbent this year. The Dem. joined forces with an undeclared former Republican this week and will run as Lt. Gov. Strange turn of events.


Weird race all right.


What are Alaska's election laws on multi-candidate races? Plurality wins or do they have to go to a runoff if there is no majority?

I ask because the sample polling I saw for a three-way governor's race saw Parnell winning solidly but the independent holding his own in a straight-up election with Parnell.

I was under the impression that majority of votes would win the primary. Walker is the independent, along with Mallott (Native guy, very popular Dem) they could unseat Parnell IMO

Begich tried to pull a H.W. Bush/Willie Horton, and it is complete horse shite.


Well maybe not complete horseshite since both hit jobs were originated by Democrats.
