Romney Picks Alaska Steering Committee

Well, Mitt Romney announced his "Alaska Steering Committee." If you know anything about Alaskan Politics the list won't surprise you one bit. Even if you don't know much about Alaska politics, you don't have to get very far down the list to see exactly what kind of candidate Romney is, and exactly where some people in Alaska stand.

It will be interesting to see who guides Team Santorum, Paul, and Gingrich.

From the News Miner here is the list of Romney’s Alaska committee members:

U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Anchorage
Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell, Anchorage
Pete Higgins, Fairbanks
Carolyne Wallace, Fairbanks
Sue Hull, Fairbanks, member of Fairbanks North Star Borough school board
Jacqueline Tupou, Juneau
Susan Fischetti, Eagle River
David Dittman, Anchorage
Rex Shattuck, Chugiak
Jason Rampton, Eagle River
Chris Nelson, Anchorage

I am hoping that Santorum grabs some of the states strong conservative leaders, and a few Catholics as well. I know this state well favors Paul, and while I am fond of Ron Paul, especially what he has brought to the table in the past, I believe that Santorum is the direction we need to go right now. So, it will be interesting to see how many other Alaskan folks, who are typically Paul supporters, are feeling the same way that I am.
