Senator Mark Begich (D., Alaska) likes gubernatorial candidate Bill Walker, but Walker declined to endorse the vulnerable senator.

“Republican Gov. Sean Parnell said he would vote for [Republican Senate candidate Dan] Sullivan,” SFGate notes. “Walker answered the question by saying there would be a Walker-Mallott campaign sign in his yard.”

Walker is technically an independent, but he is the Democrats’ hope to take back the governor’s mansion.

“Walker changed his party affiliation from Republican to undeclared to run with Democrat Byron Mallott as part of a so-called unity ticket,” SFGate explains. “Begich has backed Walker.”
