Wonder what’s up in Alaska ?

I have no idea.
This morning, I saw the results of a PPP poll that had the GOP nominee, Mike Dunleavy, well ahead of Walker and Democrat Mark Begich, but the sum of Walker’s and Begich’s total exceeded Dunleavy’s. I thought that PPP (which are notorious Democrats who routinely release polls to create a narrative) might have released the poll to prod Walker and Begich to combine forces like Walker and Mallott did four years ago, which would be the only way that they could have any chance of defeating Dunleavy. When I read about Mallott’s mysterious resignation for allegedly “inappropriate” comments, I feared that it was a pretense for creating a vacancy on the ballot that Begich would fill and that the Democrats would then remove their ticket from the ballot (which, again, is what the Democrats did four years ago). So I’m relieved to see that Gov. Walker quickly announced that the new Lt. Governor, Valerie Davidson, would be Mallott’s replacement as his runningmate in the election (although apparently Mallott’s name would have to remain on the ballot), thus foreclosing an 11th-hour switcheroo.
