Share your thoughts on the potential Alaskan Governor and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the potential candidates.
Yeah, he's an idiot.  But if he is an idiot: a) that's what Alaska deserves and b) he will likely be our next governor.  On a somewhat positive note regarding Dunleavy: Begich would tax Alaska to death and the only people with jobs would be unionized state employees.  Walker would spend another term in Korea or China trying to sell Alaska gas that can't compete with the many other LNG sources in the world.  And Walker would neglect the re-making of Alaska from a $100 oil to a $45 paradigm, and spend his time on his pet fantasy project ... like he has done his entire term.  At least Dunleavy knows what the word "cut" means. He would cut too much in the view of the Alaskans (people like Cole and Wohlforth) that think everything should be free and government should be huge.  But large, private-sector-like, downsizing cuts to the state beauracracy are what Alaska needs, and no one has had the backbone to do this.
