Beautiful and smart Sarah Palin advances in the Alaska primary to next round!
NBC News reports:
[Three well-known candidates lead by former Alaska governor and vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin have advanced to the general election in Alaska’s special House race, NBC News projects.
Republican Nick Begich, the grandson of former Rep. Nick Begich, D-Alaska, and nonpartisan Al Gross, a surgeon, have also advanced to the general election, according to NBC News’ projection.
In August, Alaska voters will rank four candidates to determine who secures the House seat for the final months of the late Rep. Don Young’s term. Young held the seat for decades and died in March.
This is the state’s first use of open primaries and ranked-choice voting, a system that was implemented after a ballot measure in 2020.]
Here’s how the new voting system works: Alaskans cast ballots for single candidates in an open, nonpartisan primary race. The top four vote-getters advance to the general election, in which voters rank four candidates in order of preference. Any candidate who gets more than 50 percent of the vote wins the race. If no one gets a majority, the candidate with the fewest first-choice votes is eliminated, and ballots cast for the eliminated candidate are recast for voters’ second choices. The elimination and retabulation process continues until only two candidates are left. The candidate with the most votes wins.

Your photo was obviously taken at a long-ago gala, given the sequined dress. Later photos of her consistently show a drab, make-up-less face with dark horn-rimmed glasses and a scrag of unkempt hair hanging straight down her forehead.
This subject is unimportant in the world's vast array of things, but appearances help in getting votes for candidates, both men and women....and I want her to blow all opposition away in a landslide !

Love her voice...
Tune in every time...
That was the whole point when the uniparty agreed to it in several states - it can be rigged when too many doofi aren’t paying attention. The ones who Vince Lombardi characterized as saying after an event, “What happened?”
Didn't you mean: " Photo bomb? Naw, this is a photo bowel movement."
Good for her.
She’ll be a great Congresswoman.
Go ahead and trash her. That's SOP for the political puritans on this site these past couple of years.. She's now open game for idiots..........
Put some ice on that.
She will obviously win the General.
Sarah deseeves a lot of credit for the patriot populist movement that started with the Tea Party. Regardless of the unflattering headlines about her and her personal life, I will always admire her for that.
o geez...
geez.....she’s only 57. You talk like shes ancient or something.
Sarah Palin has skills in politics but her family life is a mess.
A couple on this thread act like she has one foot in the grave. She’s 57 for crying out loud. Hardly old/elderly.
So much better for her to be Beautiful and Smart rather than Stunning and Brave.
It appears to be a pretty solid axiom that right wing women are tough in every way, and left wing (whatevers) are fugly in every way. Hell, the left wingers are incapable of identifying themselves as women. Rightfully so.
I don’t think the RINOs can be running the R brand for too much longer. In not too long, there will be nothing left to run. It’s Trump/MAGA or nothing.
I don’t care about her voice. The fact that she resigned her senate seat is what sticks in my craw. Hope she sticks it out this time.
Ranked choice voting is a terrible, awful, very bad idea for a lot of reasons, as are open primaries.
Which is why you’ll see lefty activists pushing them whenever and wherever possible.
