Good.

Last time she lost the Republican primary she:

• Ran in the general as an independent
• The Democrat candidate withdrew from the race
• The Democrat vote along with a minority of GOP voter put her over 50%

What makes anyone think the same scenario won’t play out again?

She’ll be there are long as she wants.

The new Alaskan voting system does not allow her to run as a write in in the final four. If she fails to get past the first ballot vote, she is toast. It is unlikely that she will not be part of the final four. The Green Pages has 19 listed candidates. The top four could each end up with less then 25% of the vote each.

The recent house race special election to fill out the balance of the term had Sarah Palin getting 28%, Nick Begich 19%, Al Gross 13% and Mary Sattler Peltola getting 9%. There were 24 candidates in the first round. Interestingly, Al Gross has since dropped out leaving it a three way race.

There are 24 people running for the next term which will have the primary on the same day as the special election final. Make the ballot very complicated.
