I doubt very much, Rig, that he will bad-mouth her; for one thing, it wouldn't be good politics.

Parnell lived for at least 8 years in Juneau and is good friends with a number of people I know. Even though he himself is a Republican, his father was an influential Democratic
Parnell has the reputation of being a pragmatist, he works toward the goal. He also does not have the reputation of being vindictive.

So, yes, we have hopes that a new day has dawned.
