Dan Sullivan in The Associated Press
On Government Reform:
TV ads financed by super-PAC, both for him & against
The candidates clashed over the economic stimulus, gun rights and campaign spending. Sullivan has raised almost four times as much money as Treadwell and has a super PAC backing him, enabling him to bombard the airwaves with advertising. Begich
and his super PAC have also jumped into the fight, attacking Sullivan over his roughly seven-year absence from the state, when he was in Washington, D.C., working in the administration of President George W. Bush and serving with the military overseas.

On Immigration:
Secure the border, but no pledge against amnesty
Both Dan Sullivan and Mead Treadwell refused to sign a pledge offered by Joe Miller to oppose all efforts at "amnesty" for people here illegally if elected to the US Senate, with Treadwell chastising Miller for sending out a mailer on immigration
featuring menacing Hispanic gang members.Miller, in turn, noted that several of Sullivan's backers, like GOP strategist Karl Rove, favor allowing many of the 11 million immigrants in the country to eventually become citizens. "It's because it's
the truth," Miller said when challenged about the pictures on the flier. "This is real-world stuff."
On immigration, all three candidates bashed the Obama administration for failing to secure the border.
Treadwell said he supported letting some people here illegally stay once they pay a fine and wait for permits behind those who immigrated legally. Sullivan called for more border security.
