So who do you think the final Governor's candidates will be?
Edited on Thu Feb-16-06 04:23 AM by larissa
I'm guessing it will be...

Ethan Berkowitz (D) <-- supposedly beating Eric in the polls per KUDO
Eric Croft (D)
Andrew Halcro (I) <-- Andrew who?
Sarah Palin (R) <-- should get a lot of Valley voters
John Binkley (R) <-- should get a lot of Fairbanks voters
Jim Sykes (Green Party) <-- He runs in every race, doesn't he?

----------------
Haven't decided yet:

* Tony Knowles (D) - no idea if he'll do it (or maybe pursue Don Young's seat)
* Ralph Seekins (R)
* Loren Leman (R) - Give me a break if he even tries it!!

Ok gang, who else am I missing??

1. I like Ethan
he's my representative. I do hope Tony runs for Don Young's seat. I believe that DY is more corrupt than we'll ever know. My husband even found something on his union website (Marine Engineers Benefit Association) about Don Young and shady contributions, and of course the Abramoff connection looks real bad. He's got to go. I hate that he and Ted Stevens seem to think it's just an entitlement for them, that no one would dare run against them, and that if they did it would be a joke. They need to be knocked down a few pegs.

2. Are you assuming Murkowski won't run, or that he wouldn't be renominated?

3. If he's renominated and wins, we'll definitely know
the fix is in. Second least popular governor in the country.
