Another Republican bites the dust

Walt said:
The same candidates running in the same format two and a half months later. There is little difference here.

There is no such thing as "false equivocation fallacy." You might be thinking of "equivocation fallacy", but their are not ambiguous terms being used. You might be thinking "false equivalence fallacy", but the two elections are very, very similar, and I am noting the one difference.

The one difference is two and a half months. That difference means that it will be a November election next time, and so should have a higher turnout. That means more moderate voters, and moderate voters hate Palin... So Palin will probably do a bit worse.

False equivalence fallacy. Not the same election, not the same format. Your insistence that the election has somehow already occurred, and that you can get away with making up numbers is truly bizarre.
 
Polling indicates that the GOP may need to ditch Palin and embrace Begich, the Republican son of a well-known Democratic family in Alaska seeking the job once held by his grandfather.
Polls suggest that if Begich was to earn enough votes so that Palin is eliminated in the second round, instead of him, he would win comfortably over Peltola in November. However, if Palin is able to secure one of the final two spots, polling shows she'd lose to Peltola again, and this time with an even wider margin of five points than her defeat in the special election, according to a newly released poll from Alaska Survey Research.

It is all the same candidates, using the same process of voting, and only two and a half months later. You do not like the returns, well then bury your head in the sand.

And Palin was heard saying Begich should take one for the team and step down, not run. Sounds like if repubs want the seat they should tell Palin to take a hike.

Yep that’s why posted that.
Plain is too much a publicity hound for drop out.
It’s her supporters that need to face reality and vote for Begich as their first choice but they won’t.

We had one election two weeks ago, and we will have the next in two months. Both elections have the same candidates, and the same rules.

I am not "making up numbers" when writing the last election returns.

Nope. Two different elections are not the same election. False equivalence fallacy.

The system is rigged for the Uniparty, dude. It is meant to keep Demonkkkrats (left wing of the Uniparty, DNC) and RINOs (right wing of the Uniparty, RNC) in positions of power and to thwart any "unacceptable" (IOW, MAGA) candidates from acquiring those positions of power.

You are right that it may prevent the MAGA or Nazi party candidates from winning but that's good. Nobody wants an ignorant shithead to represent them.

Alaska U.S. House candidate Sarah Palin called on fellow Republican Nick Begich to drop out of the race Monday, holding a news conference in the same place where on a holiday weekend more than a decade ago she announced plans to resign as Alaska's governor.
“He keeps calling me a quitter," she told reporters, adding later: "And now he wants me, the one who is clearly the only true conservative in this race who can win, he wants me to quit! Now that's the real joke. Sorry, Nick. I never retreat, I reload.”

Begich, who was critical of Palin during the campaign, seeking to cast her as a quitter and questioning her motives in running, said Monday his campaign is “confident that we are on a positive trajectory to win in November.”
