Because that’s exactly what happened.
The poll that nailed the final result on the money showed that head to head, Begich wins in a walk, by about 10 points.
The problem was that the moron class was chasing celebrity and Grifter Pundit memes instead of listening to people with more political knowledge.
60% of the initial vote went to Republicans. That was a 7 points better than Trump’s victory in 2020. Yet we lose, because too many morons pushed Palin into the Second spot.
So that headline is absolutely accurate.
Palin lost this, Pelota didn’t win.
zzzzzzzz you sound like a blowhard
“The poll that nailed the final result on the money showed that head to head, Begich wins in a walk, by about 10 points.”
Nonsense, what you’re saying makes no sense. Nick Begich the third-place loser should have dropped out. He is the one that cost the election. Palin beat him by 5 points. If that idiot would have dropped out when he was losing and had no chance of winning the seat would be Repub.
Hint: Polls don’t win elections, votes do. It is stupid the RINO Republicans that destroy everything. His pride was too big to concede in time to save the seat.

Palin beat Begich in the first round. Peltola only won 37% of the vote yet she won the seat thanks to ranked choice voting.
Nick Begich Jr. is the son of a former Alaska Dem congressman. From his site: “Nick recently completed a Fellowship with the Club for Growth, America’s leading free-enterprise, limited-government advocacy group.” He is not MAGA.
Murkowski engineered the move to rank choice voting to insure reelection. We will see what happens in Nov for the House seat when they do it all over again with three candidates this time. Greater turnout will affect the race. Maybe Begich should announce that his supporters should vote for Palin.
“… Palin lost this, Pelota didn’t win.”
************************************
Hmmmm… and Begich neither won nor lost? Funny how that is. Anyhooo, in the Senate race you have your beloved moderate in Murkowski.
Do we really know that? Palin voters second choice votes weren't counted, were they?
