“I think that means, in the whack job system in Alaska, Palin stands a good chance of winning in November, after all if she only gets 51 percent of the vote, Palin wins.”
Nope, the 3rd place loser R will also be on the Nov ballot and will split the R votes so the demonrat wins.
Yep. Alaska will send a Democrat to congress for the first time since 1972
"So Begich should drop out and let all of his supporters move to Palin, right?"
No. Many of these voters picked Peltola as their second choice over Palin, or picked nobody at all. They're not going to become Palin voters.
"So second-place winner Sarah Palin should drop out?"
Yes, if the GOP wants a shot to win the seat back.
