Voters in the Republican primary have three very different choices for governor this year. But it's still coming down to oil, gas and oil and gas taxes. Mostly, the GOP debate has been overshadowed by the gas line. That's because one candidate -- Bill Walker -- is pushing hard for an LNG line to Valdez, to be built by the state and starting now.

With the Democratic primary fast approaching, the only thing Ethan Berkowitz and Hollis French seem to disagree on is how to get the most money out of the oil industry. But listen a little bit longer and another theme is playing out: how best to position Alaska for the future.
