Alaskans narrowly voted for BS 21 based on oil industry propaganda and lies. More oil, more jobs, more revenue. My a$$. The industry outspent the opposition by 15:1 and won a narrow victory. I wonder what would happen if we got to vote again?

As far a Walker and Mallott's fancy footwork, how about Wally Hickel and Jack Coghill's fancy footwork in 1990?

Wally lost the Republican primary to Arliss Sturgulewski. Coghill won the GOP Lt Gov nomination.  Alaskan Independence Party nominees John Lindauer and Jerry Ward, stepped aside, largely alluding to the illness of Lindauer's wife as the reason. Hickel and Coghill  took their places as the AIP candidates and won.

I'll bet you voted for them, Richard, in spite of the fancy footwork
