AK-AL Special election: Peltola wins!

[Darthpi – Anti-Florida Activist]

If Democrats win this Race they will hold the House as well and the Senate.

And all Republican Senators & Governors in competitive Races will lose as well.

The more I think about it I actually want Democrats to hold Congress. While as a Republican this would be a HUGE short term loss it would mean a massive wipeout for Democrats come 2024.

The Administration would implement more Socialistic, leftist, liberal Policies but whomever the D-Nominee is would get drenched in November 2024.

This is like the mirror version of "Democrats should lose every election until they hold no seats, thus winning back every seat in the most dominant party performance in midterm history"

Accelerationism is a hell of a drug

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.

The best description of Sarah Palin remains the one given by Chris Matthews back in 2010: "An empty vessel ready to be filled by ideology she doesn't even understand"

That sounds as awkward as when a winner is named in Miss America, or a reality competition show, or something.

That's actually how every UK Parliamentary election winner is announced.

It still sounds uncomfortable to watch.

It’s the best part when watching British election nights.

Theresa May, Lord Buckethead, Elmo, and the head of the Monster Raving Loony Party on the same stage in 2017 was exceptional

As someone whose first time voting was 2008, this is an UNBELIEVABLY satisfying result

For all the s*** Republicans have talked about representing physical land area over the last decade or so, it sure is nice to win the largest, least densely-populated state in the country.
