I'm not from anchorage, but I've always thought of mayor Dan Sullivan as a damn well spoken, well liked conservative guy. Has he run afoul of anchorage conservatives somehow? Every time I hear him speak I think "why isn't this guy already in Lisa's seat?" He doesn't seem to pull any punches...
I like him and would vote for him in a NY minute to replace Murkowski, and everyone I know that isn't union likes him as well. His biggest foe right now are the unions and that can be a big hurdle to overcome.
Actually, in person he is not all that likable... His own brother will not talk to him and quit his job when it came under Dan's control.
The fact the unions dislike him so strongly is a tough one for him... but I like it!
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
Was at the Anchorage airport Nov 7th there was Markie heading to Chicago on the same plane he looked like he was going to cry, from 7 ft away. Some how I did not feel sad!

He'll be back. He believes like Hillary and other liberals that he is entitled. Especially since his daddy died in office. One of the posters on the Dispatch said that he should have the office he "deserves". Deserves?! Give me a break! No politician deserves anything and should expect nothing, except the privilege of serving FOR A WHILE. Don Young included BTW. But I'm betting that he is already gearing up for another run. He has tasted power and likes it, and won't be down for long.
I hope his next stop sees him running for 'dogcatcher' in Metlakatla or other north Seattle suburb. And if the Dems want Don out, the easiest way would be for them to get behind a strong Repub in the primary. The primary is Don's ticket to the exit IMO.
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
