Comment: That was Parnell's mistake .  I never thought Sullivan was a good fit for Lt. gov. anyways as he was a hands on mayor. His great strength would have been wasted in that position . He was an excellent mayor who looked out for the taxpayers , which the current mayor doesn't care in the least about .  Since you want to mix a few apples and oranges , I'll help .  Talk about telling / ordering someone to disappear , what happened to both the independent and democratic Lt. gov candidates ? Both were told to take a hike .  People at the time thought a deal was made to offer them both jobs if the new team won---and they were .  Wasn't that a shinning moment for the Alaska democratic party--for the first time in state history offering no democratic candidate for governor ? Mixing even more---democrats can't even find one good person to defeat Don Young.  What is it-- twenty some loses in a row ?  Wohlforth and democrats are worried Sullivan might run. Rightfully so. That's why he did this story
