Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dan Sullivan is bringing a pair of high-profile GOP politicians to Alaska for the final stretch of the campaign.

Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP presidential candidate and a former Massachusetts governor, will hold a rally with Sullivan and Gov. Sean Parnell in Anchorage on Monday, the day before the election.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a Tea Party favorite, will join Sullivan on Saturday and Sunday for get-out-the-vote rallies in Fairbanks and the Mat-Su, and on the Kenai Peninsula.

Asked Tuesday evening about the visits from Cruz and Romney, Begich's campaign responded with an emailed statement from campaign manager Susanne Fleek-Green, attacking Sullivan for drawing Outside support throughout the campaign.

"Now, as Election Day draws closer, Dan Sullivan is forced to rely on Outside surrogates to headline his events because he wants to represent their interests, not Alaska's," Fleek-Green was quoted as saying.

My favorite comment? "Wow! Bringing in the BIG water pistols."
