The crowd for today's Sullivan rally w/ Sen. Cruz didn't exactly sell out(Pic by Chris Constant)
Apparently Alaskans are not impressed with Ted Cruz or Sullivan
The media is making up this whole we are doomed BS.
Most likely they are manufacturing consent for stealing elections.
In Alaska we had 200% voter turnout in almost half of the districts and when Dems demanded an explanation, the data was altered.

Other evidence also pointing to them trying to steal it.
Is anyone in North Carolina reporting their Republican votes switching to Democrats?

(40,656 posts)the town that this supposedly to be held in, my home town. I thought about going and getting a picture of three wankers but I was too busy sweeping floors at the U-Haul.
They said 200 came and maybe they are right but this is Republican territory so this is a HUGE flame out. Notice they held it on the ice. They have side rooms that could handle this crowd easily but they didn't show. They OBVIOUSLY expected a massive turn out with Willard and Teddy there but no one came. The building is massive and my sweet little FDR loving little daddy donated the gravel pad on which this sits and made it so that the building could be built. That whirring sound is him turning in his grave.
GO, SOLDOTNA! WE KNOW HOW TO FRAGGING IGNORE PEOPLE!
Hello, dear Blue. Hugs!
edit: Click on the article for the link and read the comments. They're all hating on Sullivan and his crew. That is remarkable in and of itself.

(46,436 posts)He and Mitt look so out-of-place with their brand-new shiny mom jeans on, trying to look like " men of the people." It reminds me of the ads with Dan Sullivan earlier in the election season wearing a brand new, clean Carhartt jacket. NOBODY wears a clean Carhartt jacket.

(46,436 posts)It's like baseball hats. My husband was devastated when his favorite hat finally fell completely apart. He has a big stash of new ones from volunteering with the Iditarod but he was embarrassed to wear one that looked so clean...he had to drag it through the snow and dirt a little bit so it would look right.
Mitt, Ted and Dan are so clueless, they didn't even think of that angle.

(46,436 posts)My husband and I were just out W. NLB and saw all the commotion. They may have managed to pull out a few more supporters here in Anchorage, but I still think Begich has this. Did you see this piece in the ADN? http://www.adn.com/article/20141103/romney-joins-sullivan-anchorage-diner-monday-while-begich-hits-fairbanks Check the comments. No one is impressed.

(769 posts)CNN literally made it sounds like Ted Cruz being very popular in Alaska. CNN were expected Cruz rally to draw in more than 7,000 crowd. CNN is practically rooting for Republicans to win it all.
Blue_In_AK
(46,436 posts)He's not popular here at all. That he could only draw a paltry 350 people in WASILLA, of all places, is very telling.
He's a joke here. Alaska took a big hit when he shut down the government, almost $40 million. Also, we don't like Texans and what they stand for. Those oily critters from Texas have ruined this state. We want them all to go home.

(769 posts)I feel you. I didn't realize that it's $40 million that Alaska lost because of him.

I have no reason to believe they are not cheating.
It's all set up for fraud, and when something outrageous happens like 200% voter turnout in 16 out of 40 districts, no one is held accountable.
