Politics in Alaska is unique. Democrats are unpopular there, but most its voters combine Libertarian-leaning conservatism with support for public works, stemming partly from resentment over the Federal government’s ownership of most of its land. Also, the individual candidate is more important than party labels and voters value local roots even though a lot of people there are from somewhere else.
This could easily go either way.
horsesh!t. ppp also has mark pryor +1 in arkansas, and there is no way that’s accurate.
Trying desperately to ignore the real conservative in the race, Joe Miller. Pro-life, pro-gun, pro-oil. and the only one who DIDN’T support Lisa Murkowski in the last election.
The fact that Begich is at 43% is very heartening. As regards Arkansas mentioned about, here’s hoping Mr. Cotton reminds Mr. Pryor of his lack of military service in every way possible...without being too obvious. Like his father, Pryor was a little too good to serve in uniform.
Sad to say; Begich is running a stellar campaign. The GOP is imploding, of course, as the 3 contenders destroy each other for Begich to finalize their demise on Nov. 4. This is one seat the GOP thought would be a “pick-up” this year. Well........ I don’t see that happening.
