I cannot stand him or his stupid face.
Will be holding signs on street corners for somebody else.

I can't wait to vote against him.

I guess this means Treadwell is going against Mark.

"I thought he'd given everything he could give away to the oil industry. ... I'm not sure what's left for him to give away, so I'm surprised he's going to go another round," Walker said. "I think Alaska needs a governor that puts the office and puts Alaskans first."

Can he stay on the air on that as long as he doesn't actually do a formal declaration of candidacy?

My ultimate wish-list person would be Les Gara, who has fought the good fight on oil taxes, but then again there's also Beth Kertulla(our rep from Juneau) and maybe this might be Eric Croft's moment(a friend of mine wanted Chancey to run again, for the record).

Any favorites among the rest of you?
