Rosen +5, Rosendale +2, Hunter +8, Dunleavy +10, what’s next? Michelle Lujan Grisham leading in NM? I mean, does candidate quality even matter AT ALL anymore? This is just crazy. I’m just relieved I can continue to do my part, though. #retailpolitics

[Lincoln Councillor Dwarven Dragon]

Walker needs to drop out.

Begich's last-minute entry into this race appears to be as poorly thought out as the return of Evan Bayh in 2016.

[IceSpear]

Impossible. Atlas told me that Walker and Dunleavy would split the right wing vote and allow Bad Boy Begich to dominate.

Lol, it's like the pollsters conspired this week to troll this forum.

[IceSpear]

Walker Begich needs to drop out.

It was dumb for him to run to begin with, it was probably done solely as an ego trip. And he could very well end up giving Republicans their only gubernatorial pickup of 2018.

Two way race:

Walker 47
Dunleavy 43

And according to this article, the AFL-CIO has just endorsed Walker. It is time for Begich to end his vanity run and drop out.

[Quislings Anonymous]

Walker needs to drop so that Begich can win.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Begich wins the award of biggest pos retread that I've seen in quite a while.

Walker needs to drop out.

Yes, because the incumbent governor needs to make room for a losing challenger because muh split-ticket voting

Somewhere between lean and likely R

[Zaybay]

Its pretty obvious that this race is gonna be a staredown, a game of chicken. Begich and Walker both know that they are both favoured against the R, but with them both in the race, their chances both diminish. Its a game of who drops out first, and I personally think that Walker will.

Now that I think about it, its possible that Begich will drop out, and that could be the whole plan. A run to regain his name rec and base before running for senate in 2020, but thats just a hunch.

[President Biden]

Yeah, no. I don't buy this at all.

[IceSpear]

Yeah, no. I don't buy this at all.

Why?

[President Biden]

Yeah, no. I don't buy this at all.

Why?

Alaska polls are some of the least reliable in the country. I also don't believe this is Safe R like most of the forum because of vote-splitting (I feel the polls are overestimating this).

[ElectionsGuy]

Alaska polls are a joke. We won't know anything until votes come in on election night.

[Xing]

Obviously the undecideds and half of Walker’s supporters will get behind Bad Boy Begich when they realize how badass he is.

[President Johnson]

Begich is really an idiot. Why does he run? He just hands the governor's mansion to the Republicans. Walker needs the left of center votes to hang on. I hope Begich drops out like Mallott did four years ago.
