text: I am rather curious why he doesn't acknowledge Chris Birch challenging Bob Lynn.  As I haven't been to Anchorage lately, I dunno exactly what's going on there.  I've known Chris for decades (*sarcasm on*) and have been curious as to why he's being such a meanie and trying to deny Lynn the distinction of being the oldest-ever member of the legislature. (*sarcasm off*)
  
  I'm equally puzzled as to why he mentioned Coghill.  Just like Murky tried to do in 2004 when he was recruiting sycophants to pack the legislature with, I view the candidacy of (use the force) Luke Hopkins as a sockpuppet for Walker's gas line agenda.  It's not strictly that, as electing him will further strengthen the Guttenberg / Kawasaki union-backed mafia, just like Beltrami would do likewise on his level.
