Cruz to Wasilla - The Mudflats

8. Sarah apparently wasn't there.

She's kind of a wild card this election (for anyone who's paying attention to her). She has actively endorsed Bill Walker, who is running against her old Lt. Governor (now governor) Sean Parnell. She never really liked Sean anyway, because she fought the oil companies and he was a ConocoPhillips lobbyist. Not surprising that she would endorse Walker.

As far as the Senate goes, she has not endorsed Dan Sullivan, even though he was her attorney general after Talis Colberg had to quit over the Troopergate scandal (I think that's the scandal he quit over - there were so many). Anyway, the rumor is that Sullivan was suggested to her by the Outside Republican operatives who later were responsible for her VP nomination, and that all along he was intended to be a plant to gain back this seat for the R's. Nobody knew who he was when she picked him, and we still don't know who he is. (See http://www.adn.com/article/20141101/dan-sullivan-running-us-senate-wont-tell-us-who-he). It is telling that the vast amount of his campaign cash has come from Koch Brothers and Rove organizations. In contrast, Begich's individual donors outnumber Sullivan's about 10 to 1.
