if I were Chuck Schumer. She may not completely flip, but she might consider going (I) and caucusing with the Dems.

With the age and health of some Senators, padding the number could be helpful.

1. She won with Dem votes

and she is well aware of that.

[PortTack]

2. Interesting! With Mary Pertola maybe Alaskans are realizing who's on their side. Murkowski pays

Close attention

[blm]

3. Alaska has Ranked Choice Voting.

That makes a difference.

4. and we may not know who wins Alaska 1 till Nov 23

according to the NYT

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/11/08/us/elections/results-alaska-us-house-district-1.html

but Peltola has 47.3% of the vote
Palin 26.2%
Begich 24.2%

9. I was just wondering about Mary Peltola ..

has that race been called yet?

TY!

[iemanja]

14. No, but Peltola is way ahead

It's hard for me to imagine that she's fall below Palin in a second or third round.

15. TY! 🤞🤷‍♂️🤞💕 nt

12. Peltola ran against Sarah Palin

and it seems Alaskans are sick to death of her. It's still a red state.

5. She is pretty cozy with Joe Manchin so I would not expect too much from her.

[Slammer]

6. Potential

The potential of getting anything out of her is worth feeling her out on the subject.

7. Offer Collins and Johnson an Ambassadorship while we're at it!

[DFW]

11. Appoint Collins ambassador to Andorra or San Marino

Tell her the State Department is very concerned with our relations with the locals. She’ll be on the next plane, and we expand to 52 with her replacement.

8. Hopefully Grassley will fall over before any of ours. nt

[DFW]

10. Don't bet on it. Remember Carl Hayden.

I’m sure the Republicans do.

[iemanja]

13. She's a conservative

I don't see her switching.
