Anchorage Republican pollster David Dittman, who isn’t working for any of the candidates in the governor’s race, said he believes most voters have made up their minds. But tonight’s debate could make a difference for Bill Walker and Ralph Samuels, Parnell’s main Republican challengers.
“Not just because it has so many viewers but because of what happens that then gets picked up (by the media) and propagated from that point. If Sean did something really, really bad or Ralph and Bill did something brilliant, that could make a difference,” said Dittman, adding that Parnell enjoys the benefit of having them split the anti-incumbent vote. “It’s mostly Sean’s to lose.”
The KTUU-Channel 2 debate will begin about 7:30 p.m., with the candidates appearing from the Wendy Williamson auditorium at the University of Alaska Anchorage.
