Well, in this case the alternative is to chock up her loss to her own failings as a candidate. What politician ever does that?Sarah Palin seems like a very sore loser.
That's a pretty spot-on description of herself. Lost to Obama/Biden, lost the governorship on an own goal, lost to Peltola. And she cost the Republicans a seat by not withdrawing -- which, the numbers show, Begich didn't do: if he'd withdrawn, she'd still have lost. There is still time for Palin to do the honorable thing and withdraw before the November election, but her ego won't allow that.She continued in this vein for most of the rest of that statement.Wasilla, Alaska/September 1, 2022 - Today, Governor Sarah Palin called on her Republican opponent, Nick Begich, to withdraw from the race for Alaska's at-large congressional seat.
"Nick Begich is now is a three-time loser. His ego-driven insistence on staying in Alaska's congressional race after repeatedly failing to garner a majority of Republican votes, while I have consistently won the vote, has just cost Republicans a seat in Congress. Fortunately, there is still time for Begich to do the honorable thing and withdraw before the November election.
"From the moment he started attacking our respected Congressman, Don Young, 'Negative Nick' has focused all his energy on attacking his Republican opponents instead of going after Joe Biden and the radical democrats who are destroying our country.
No, it only "disenfranchised" 49% of Alaska voters. She keeps taking for granted that the Republicans who prefer Peltola to her are hers by right."Ranked-choice voting was sold as the way to make elections better reflect the will of the people. As Alaska - and America - now sees, the exact opposite is true. The people of Alaska do not want the destructive democrat agenda to rule our land and our lives, but that's what resulted from someone's experiment with this n convoluted, confusing ranked-choice voting system. It's effectively disenfranchised 60% of Alaska voters.
