Congrats, Governor-elect Dunleavy. I doubt that Walker would've won, but Bad Boy Begich has handed victory to Dunleavy on a silver platter.
Regardless of whether it makes a difference to Dunleavy in the end, Begich is still a major dick for just scooching into this race, playing chicken with Walker, and then not dropping out when it doesn't work out for him. In fact, jumping in at all was a dick move entirely.
Without RCV, all he does is split the anti-Republican vote. This is also a good reason why Independent governors really just need to pick a party if their state uses FPTP. You're just asking for some ass to jump in, especially if you're unpopular and they smell blood in the water.
