Beautiful and Smart Former Governor Sarah Palin Wins Open Primary and Advances in Alaska US Rep Race

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.

I, personally, reserve Stunning and Brave for Melania Trump. If Trump doesn’t run again, it will be because he loves her.

No party has to cave to ranked choice or open primaries. All the party has to do is fund the primaries themselves or have caucuses.

Palin and Begich are going to split the conservative vote and Al Gross, who is a slimy snollygoster, will win the election.

“”for the final months of the late Rep. Don Young’s term.”

How many months are left? As near as I can find, his term is up at the end of this year....reelected in 2020.

“”I don’t think she would take speaker position for awhile.””

There’s only going to be enough time for her to get her feet wet filling out Young’s term that ends this year. Hardly enough time for her to even campaign for another term.

The fact that she resigned her senate seat is what sticks in my craw.

Whut?

It was the Governor's job that she quit.

I don’t like her voice either, or her manner of speech. However, she’s a strong conservative and a fighter, and those are the traits that we need - not beautiful faces or voices.

Kind of like Sarah Huckabee. Not a beauty, but I’d vote for her all day long.

Not beautiful?

Even Ray Charles can see her beauty...and he's blind and dead.

You didn’t read what I said! She has a beautiful face - I was just saying that’s not what’s important.

I believe my friend’s grandson who is 6 months old could be a better speaker.

Literally just a copy and paste of the NBC News report.

In Minneapolis, it’s called Ranked Choice Cheating for a reason.
