Mallott had destroyed whatever chance he had of winning by refusing to take a strong stand in favor of Ballot Measure 1. I'm guessing he let himself be bullied into fudging on that one by some of the native corporation types(some of which backed Parnell's giveaway to the petrocracy because their corps. were heavily invested in oil stocks, methinks.)

I hope that French does get the AG spot.

Kinda of feel sorry for that Fleener dude...he's going to end up being a "Trivial Pursuit" question now.
