Because one is a politic figure does not entitle you to their opinion, Commenter. Not too long ago it was thought rude to ask another who they were voting for. I understand the political spotlight, but with all respect, Col. Stock must know about loyalty given her service, and must not really believe Sen. Murkowski would endorse Clinton given she represents the values of republican constituents. I’d go further to say, Murkowski understands the economics and environmental needs of the state.  She has Alaska at heart and the know-how to get things done in DC. Back to your question about politics…might I re-phase, petty politics? Perhaps we can have a real campaign based on issues, something of substance. Let's not use precious print space to spread disdain and ugly. I'd rather my senator use their political platform for good.  My late brother liked to pass along this old phrase, “Small minds talk about people, average minds talk about things, great minds talk about ideas”.
