I still can't imagine a Begich win, though he did perform way better than I expected him to. He ran a near flawless campaign and he should probably run against Murkowski in the hopes that Joe Miller beats her in a primary again.
I mean, think about this - Alaska is an R+12 state, about as Republican as Arkansas (R+14) and Louisiana (R+12) and far more Republican than North Carolina (R+3), Iowa (D+1), and Colorado (D+1). And yet, Mark Begich is only losing by 49-45, compared to Pryor's 17 point loss, Landrieu barely hitting 40%, and even Bruce Braley only getting 44% in Iowa. If Mark Begich's state were less outstandingly Republican, he would've held on and be an eternal Senator.
Even John Barrow lost by 10 in only an R+9 District.
Mark Begich - One of the Democrats most talented politico's.
