I'll admit this was not on my bingo card.

It would kind of be a hard ask to get Palin to drop out and endorse Begich if she comes a close second whereas Begich didn’t even advance to the final round.

There's also this weird, unlikely but still possible, world where Palin dropping out endorses Peltola. They apparently have a very good working relationship that dates back to how Palin found a way to work with a legislature that doesn't universally follow the party whips. Given the contrasting persoanl relationship with Begich, she'd probably add on a bunch of stuff about RINOs and disloyalty to justify a personal choice, if such weirdness were to occur.
People forget Palin was a very popular and effective governor. Even lief liked her in 2006's something
Palin was a governor with a net good record. She lost the plot when she prioritized conservative stardom over actual governance.

It's funny how if you look at the issue of an oil severance tax, she is very far to the left of California Democrats.
It is no accident she had a lot of support from Democrats.
Back in the day I compared Palin to Bachmann. That was not accurate. Palin is, at heart, an attention chaser with persistent ethics issues.

Not shocked with this result.
Btw, Alaska has among the most interesting political geography in the country.

Imagine walking into an Anchorage hospital 49 years ago and telling everyone that that recently born baby girl to a Yupik family was going to be the next person to represent Alaska in the US House.

And then also imagine telling them that the new Senator from Delaware just elected the previous year was going to be President when she took office.
Great post.
