Alaska Federation of Natives have just come out of executive session

and endorsed Mark Begich for Senator and Bill Walker/Byron Mallott for governor/lieutenant governor. This is excellent news, as their endorsements are rare. It was AFN endorsement of Lisa Murkowski in 2010 that helped her win her write-in campaign.

What an odd couple of days it's been here in this state; ADN is full of Young and his (continual) bullying, but the News-Minus is all proYoung, proParnell all the time.

Sigh; your "news" depends on who owns it.................

I think this endorsement will really help. Also, Forrest Dunbar gave a great speech and got a standing ovation.

It was kind of funny that Mayor Dan had to give his speech immediately after the endorsements. Lol. I put him on mute after his first couple of sentences.
