Why Exactly Was Lt. Colonel AWOL at Last Week’s Debate?

Photo Credit: Facebook Political Page There are strange things done in the midnight sun indeed. Rumors have surfaced that Dan Sullivan’s campaign was contacted repeatedly about participating in the United for Liberty-Alaska/Conservative Patriots Group Senate debate last week. Yet, he was a no-show.

On last Friday’s version of the Glen Biegel show he was absolved after claiming he “had a conflict . . . something my campaign had been working on for quite some time.”

Interesting, especially when one considers the fact that said event was created on Facebook about three hours before it was to occur, and four and a half hours before the UFL/CPG debate was to begin. Just seven people responded that they would be there.

So, his campaign had been working on the event “for quite some time,” and didn’t get around to advertising the event until less than four hours before show time?

Maybe the would-be senator from Alaska needs a new staff. Come out of the shadows, and talk about the important issues facing our state and nation. This self-proclaimed “fighter” ran from our state’s first real debate between the candidates. If he can’t squarely face the electorate now, why should they have any confidence he will stand up to the Party bosses and political insideres in Washington, DC?

We don’t need any more of those kind of “fighters” in the United States Senate. Can you say “Surrender Caucus?”
