| Description | “Brinkley for Governor”: 233 hits on Google
“Murkowski for Governor”: 39 hits on Google
This morning to gauge the tenor of the Republican gubernatorial primary here in Alaska, I conducted what admittedly is a hackneyed, but free and easy approach to pollstering* – I tested, by way of Google hits, the ranking of my two favorite candidates: Brinkley the Dog, and his antithesis, “Charismatic” Frank Murkowski. Well, if I could vote in the primary** – Brinkley the Dog would be a clear choice for me because he doesn’t accept kibble from the oil companies, he doesn’t need a private jet (although he admits he would like a deluxe, king-size Pet Crate), and while he may occasionally experience gas and repeated episodes of flatulence, as does our current governor, he is not actively trying to screw Alaskans by brokering a sweetheart deal on Alaska natural gas with his oil company cronies. Besides Brinkley is certainly far more photogenic and personable than Mr. “I-need-a-personality-transplant”. And if Google can be taken as any indication of popularity (or notoriety) – it looks like Brinkley the Dog has got Charismatic Frank licked all the way into next year.
*But probably just as accurate as those polls conducted by very expensive consultants.
** Which I can't because the Republicans, unlike the Democrats, closed their primaries, and it goes without saying that I would rather rot in hell than register as anything other than undeclared. |
