It’s hard to believe Alaska didn’t choose more Palin.

There is a downside to Palin’s losing—for some people.
x I’m glad we weren’t forced to relive Sarah Palin 2.0, although we are deprived of a commensurate Tina Fey reboot — robert jon anderson (@RobAnderson2018) September 1, 2022
But it also added to many Americans’ pleasure today.

Maybe we can figure out from these juxtaposed clips why conservative Alaskans chose Peltola over Palin.
x Democrat Mary Peltola has won the special election for Alaska’s only U.S. House seat, besting a field that included Republican Sarah Palin. This was the first statewide ranked choice voting election in Alaska.

Finally:
