Former GOP Gov. Sarah Palin is running for the state's at-large seat left vacant by the death of longtime Republican Rep. Don Young, and I have no idea whether she is going to win or not.
To be clear, Palin starts out in an enviable position. The primary and general election are in two months (June) and four months (August) respectively. This leaves little time for most candidates to build name recognition and gives a well-known former governor a leg up on the competition.
....
A new election system
Alaska, though, isn't conducting its elections like other states, and Palin isn't like most former governors. Normally, voters cast ballots in partisan primaries, the top vote-getters advance to the general election under their party's banner, and the candidate with the most votes wins the general election.
This year, Alaska is debuting a type of jungle primary (known as a top-four primary) to select candidates who advance to the general election. In layman's terms, all the candidates, regardless of party affiliation, will run in the same primary with the top four vote-getters advancing to the general election, which will then be decided by ranked-choice voting.
Moreover, voters in the special election will also have to contend with more than 50 candidates -- conservatives, moderates, liberals -- appearing on the primary ballot.

Why Sarah Palin isn’t the clear favorite
Voter fraud?
She still is THE favorite.
My wife loved her. I on the other hand grew tired of her cutesy quotables and voice. If she can stay on topic, leave the one liners at home she might stand a chance, but I doubt it. It’s her shtick.

Remembering the comments back in 2008 there were a lot of women FReepers who expressed love for Todd.
Todd isn’t in the picture anymore.
Looks like a confusing mess. Why did Alaska change?
CNN, huh?
“That…and a lot of people are tired of her.”
Maybe you; not me. She’s a hero of mine. But I don’t get to vote. I’m in a different A-state.
Check out the Must Read Alaska piece on Sara. A lot of folks don’t care for her.
And her huge mansion in Az...
At CNN (aka “Certified Nutjobs Network), no writer would ever put on paper that Sarah would win even if she were the only person running.
I agree with you. Palin has to shed the ‘cutesy quotables and cliches’. She has to bring some seriousness to the table. She can’t win with faded glory and flip answers.
She sold that house in AZ years ago, derrr.
Sarah Palin will win bigly.
Sarah Palin on Bannon’s ‘War Room’ tomorrow night...
Why nobody didn’t mention Sarah has Trump’s backing
Just yesterday DJT announced his endorsement.
Trump’s backing won 30 out of 30 races in Texas.
I can see Sarah lighting up the media and Dems
like MTG, Bobert, Blackburn do every day.
Not two - 4, and then with ranked choice voting. A double whammy.
It was the Murkowski protection act.
Was this passed by the state assembly, or a popular vote, or??
Well CNN clearly understands the mind of the typical Alaskan Voter.
If Sarah Palin cannot win in Alaska, it is probably time for me to move to
Switzerland.
Yo del lay hee hoo.
100 %
Who gives a flying Philadelphia fig what CNN writes?
