AK-SEN 2022: A Rank Choice

[Born to Slay. Forced to Work.]

I wonder if Al Gross will hop in the race he expressed interest a few months ago.

Last I saw he’s running for house

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Manchin already endorsed Murkowski, the D's are targeting Rubio and Demings since Crist is tied in FL, thats where the money is going

FL is not going red like TX it's a purple states

D's are targeting OH, FL, LA, MO and NC and combo of these will give us wave insurance for the S and right now D's are tied in M, FL and perhaps LA wit Chambers and Mixon pushing it to a RunoffO

We had a FL poll that showed GAETZ down that's a given because Trump only won FL because he overperformed in Miami Dade Rs aren't winning FL by 22, TX yes Beto is gonna get slaughtered

I am not even receiving text about TX anymore but FL yes

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Begich, Walsh and Natalie Tennant and Landrieu all loss because Obama vetoed Keystone pipeline bill not because Murkowski did something to Begich just like this War in Ukraine is helping Rs in the H because D's losses are gonna be in OH, FL and TX

Look whom was Veep while Obama was Prez Biden whom wants no parts of Keystone

Bullock lost to Daines due to Biden pledge not to renew Keystone, pil executive gave Biden on Day 1of his Prez a new lease on Keystone but imported more oil from Russia until the Ukraine war


I oppose Keystone but we aren't lowering gas prices because BBB and Green energy was blocked by Rs and Manchin

Senator Lisa Murkowski has written her DEATH KISS after announcing her support to confirm the most Pro-Abortion Supreme Court Justice in decades with Ketanji Brown-Jackson.

Murkowski will lose her Seat and with Palin running for Congress that will almost certainly juice up Turnout.

At this point, it's actually smart. She's running as the de facto Democrat and she knows she needs Democratic voters to survive.

This isn't a saying.

She won't survive this especially if Palin is the GOP Nominee for the House Seat in November. Palin could very well help get Tshibaka over the Finish Line. That would be some sweet payback for this Vote by Murkowski.

Will Dems sit this one out to help boost Murkowski?

[GeorgiaModerate]

Will Dems sit this one out to help boost Murkowski?

Why wouldn't they just vote for her if they want to help her?  In Alaska's new election law, it's an open primary with the top four advancing to the general election.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Murkowski is DONE anyways she hurt D's and she went out of her way to go against Palin she Filibuster Voting Rights anyways, it's nice she blacked KBJ but when it counted she denied Voting Rights she doesn't own this office she's been in office all her life she is still an R because her father Frank was a partisan R and backed impeachment of Clinton

I don’t mean the voters. I meant will there be no Democratic candidates running?

The Democratic State Party Chair said they are trying to recruit a candidate. Idk if they'll be able to though.

It’s a shame Elvi Gray-Jackson dropped out, and that so many Alaskans are running for the house seat. The jungle primary and ranked choice is still new to the state, and anything could happen.

Alaska Dems are in a pretty trick spot.

Obviously they have a preference of: Democrat > Murkowski > Tshibaka

So do they take advantage of the Republicans being divided and run a Democrat, or do they play it safe and endorse/vote for Murkowski and guarantee her victory?

The real question is going to be who Murkowski-1 voters rank as their #2.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

All the Red states are safe R no matter what , that's why they stopped polling D's in red states Beasley is going to lose that tells you the whole story on Red State

I don't care if Murkowski loses she blindsided us by voting against the Filibuster reform on John Lewis

I wonder if this abortion drama will make dems less likely to turn out for Murkowski

[LDP Everywhere]

We finally have a Democrat with Patricia Chesbro!

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

AK isn't a D state the D's aren't like D's elsewhere they are independents anyways so D's voting for Murkowski are like Indies voters, because she Filibuster Voting Rights

‘Playing it safe’ here means literally guaranteeing a Republican hold?
Yeah that’s dumb.

[Mexican Wolf]

We finally have a Democrat with Patricia Chesbro!

Following up on this:

https://www.adn.com/politics/2022/05/11/a-new-democrat-is-running-for-us-senate-in-alaska-scrambling-the-races-dynamics/

She's a former teacher and superintendent from the Matanuska-Susitna Borough and has been active in teachers' unions there for many years. According to the article, neither Murkowski nor Tshibaka have officially made any statements about her entering the race yet, and Chesbro hasn't encouraged supporters to rank Murkowski or Tshibaka second.

This might be a bad take, but I wonder if Chesbro could benefit at all from being politically active in one of the most Republican parts of the state.

[Shaula🏳️‍⚧️]

A strong democratic candidate being in the race is bad for Murkowski.
A weak democratic candidate being in the race is good for Murkowski.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

They never poll this race we don't know how Dunleavy is doing with Walker so we don't know how well the Dem is gonna do

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

With a D in the race it won't be an easy victory for whomever goes to the Runoff that's why Ds fielded another candidate
