The masquerade continues.. only in the new world of media allusion created largely by Obama and soon to followed by more of the Clinton corruption quagmire could a public sector union guy like Beltrami be even remotely considered as an independent in any sense of the word. The only question is whether the voters of Alaska will fall for this nonsense. Guys like Beltrami and Lindbeck run from the DEMOCRAT moniker because they know it's a looser with Alaskans. All the "do nothing" legislature did this past session was save us from a Tsunami of "revenue options", Slimy Vince's code word for taxes. That alone is enough for me for the time being. Each party can revise history and blame each other all they want but we didn't get into this mess overnight nor will we dig back out that soon.  A vote for Beltrami will guarantee a larger and more corrupt state government, count on it. Don't be fooled by this Independent sham.
