R’s are heavily favorited to hold their senate seat but it’s a 50/50 toss up for an at large house seat?

Both state wide elections with widely different margins. What’s up with that?

The Democrat is campaigning off the ghost of Don Young.
She's a native appealing to populists and moderates.

Ranked choice voting.

Murkowski would love to have a Dem in the House seat as long as she retains her Senate seat and she'll do anything to make sure that happens.

The fallacy is that cheating only occurs when it’s necessary to push a dim over the edge. If not for cheating this country would be 70%+ Republican

A very good native alaskan DEM candidate who is very admired in the native villages is up against 2 republicans who hate each other and refuse to bow out. Palin got more votes than Begich but he is not dropping out and both are encouraging their constituents to rank the other below the DEM Peltola. Peltola is probably going to win again.

Begich hates Palin so a lot of his voters either voted for the Democrat or spoiled their ballots to deny Palin the win. They will do the same next week.

It’s important for the GOP to win at least 52 Senate seats. I’ve got a scenario burning in my brain where the GOP wins 51 seats and Murkowski wins. She decides to caucus with the Dems just to be a bitch which makes the split 50-50 and the Dems keep the majority.

Murkowski - Bitch is a straight up Dem. Look at her voting history. I don't think Alaskans vet candidates in their primaries. I would be pissed if I voted for her thinking she was a conservative.

Would love to hear some of our Alaskan board members opinions on her. Her voting history is almost straight D ticket.
