Dan Sullivan’s “establishment” candidate protects the Senate GOP with a nod in Alaska

Former Commissioner for Natural Resources, Bush administration clerk and Prosecutor General Dan Sullivan won the Senate of the Republican US Senate yesterday in Alaska,
Associated Press Reports. AP notes that the external expenditure group supported by Karl Rove, American CrossRoads-i Conservative Club to grow, both supported him.

He won partially because he
crushed His two rivals GOP in a game from raising funds:

The TEA Party attempt to overcome the mainstream of the Republican in Alaska, when former prosecutor general Dan Sullivan won Gop Primary to become his party candidate to take part in the USA Sen. Marek Begich in autumn.

Sullivan entered the main alleged leader, with the support of domestic Powerbrokers GOP and a huge predominance of cash over his rivals.

Sullivan won rather
Convenient margin:

With 80% of districts, the Associated Press predicted that Mr. Sullivan would surpass the Republican basic field. It had 40.2% of votes, compared to 31.8% for the candidate for Tea Party
Joe Miller and 25.1% for lieutenant Mead Treadwell.

Mr. Sullivan said in a statement that he was looking at “painting a clear contrast between Marek Beg’s inability to move our state and my vision of lighter and better Alaska.”

Speaking of Begich, the superpas supporting him roughly spent
$ 4 million During the slow basic campaign Attack and Sullivan. At the same time, some of the attack lines used against him sound incredibly familiar:

“Gorzki and dividing the basic basic in Alaska revealed that Dan Sullivan does not think what is in the best interest of Alaskan,,” said Deputy Executive Director of the Democratic Campaign Committee Matt Canter in a statement from Washington early Wednesday. “After wearing water for Sarah Palin and trying to limit access to public lands for hunters and fishermen,
Sullivan now hopes for the auction of the Koch brothers in the US Senate. “

Begich attacked Sullivan and Treadwell
Women’s health problems – A repetitive topic in races throughout the country this year, directed partly by the ongoing debate of Obamacare – and joined other Republicans, attacking Sullivan on his roots of Alaska. (Sullivan comes from Ohio and worked for the administration of George W. Bush.)

I suppose nowadays for democrats. But the news about goods are-IW unlike, say, in Missouri-it seems that there is no constant bad will between republican candidates. Both Sullivan’s rivals
he called to congratulate him After the winner announced.

We hope that now Republicans can unite in preparations for the election campaign, and therefore pick up a place where there are more than capable
victorious:

Alaska is a state based on red, which can become one of the six Republicans who have to earn to win control over the Senate.
John McCain defeated Barack Obama there by almost 22 percent Points in 2008. Begich, former mayor of Anchorage, this year the unsuccessful senator GOP Ted Stevens, who has just been convicted of ethics, which was later thrown away. Obama lost through the narrower but still immense margin, 14 points, with Mitt Romney in 2012.

This means that swallowing would be a painful loss if the Republicans did not subtract the start; After all, their chances of recovering the upper chamber will be seriously reduced.

That is why the older party (and bottom -up activists) will very closely monitor this race on the election day.
