Mary Peltola Defeats The Noise of Mama Grizzly!

Mary Peltola wins.
Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK) defeats former Alaskan governor and noise maker Sarah Palin in the state's rank choice election. 

Peltola does not want to be noise like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) or Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO). She actually wants to work on issues involving fishing, forestry, protecting pro-choice, protecting marriage equality and helping President Joe Biden achieve his goals.

Her win gave the Democrats a seat that never flipped in over 40 years. It once belonged to Don Young. The Republican died while awaiting a transfering flight from Los Angeles International Airport.

His death sparked interest in who could win that election.

Palin, a supporter of Washed Up 45 and one of the main reasons to why he ran in the first place hoped that her victory would assure two years of burden for President Joe Biden. She was competing with Republican Nick Begich, a relative of former Democratic senator Mark Begich.

Begich was endorsed by Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), the outgoing Minority Leader who is seeking Speaker of the House. Begich was also endorsed by Palin's ex-husband Todd. The former president endorsed the controversial agitator.

Palin is best known also for her run with John McCain in the 2008 Presidential Campaign. She listened to the noise of Sean "Softball" Hannity and ran on the demonization of Barack and Michelle Obama.

Palin gave way to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL), Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) and numerous Karens who felt the need to be bitches instead of lawmakers.

Patola, a native Alaskan and member of a Yup'ik organization will join a handful of lawmakers who share Native American roots. Rep. Sharice Davids (D-KS), Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK), Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), Sen-Elect, Rep. Yvette Herrell (R-NM), Rep-Elect Josh Brecheen (R-OK) and Kimberly Teehee (future delegate U.S. Representative from the Cherokee Nation).

Peltola's victory comes a shocker to the Republicans. She was a former tribal judge and state lawmaker before she made the quest for Washington. Her victory should help motivate Democrats in the West.

Once seen as Republican country, it is possible that Democrats can win in states like Montana, Idaho, Alaska, North Dakota and South Dakota. It's difficult to convince voters to support Democrats because Republicans for years have made noise about the other party being this and that. This is why it's considered "flyover country." 

Ohio, Iowa, and Florida were once potential swing states for candidates of both parties. It appears Republicans will have them for years to come because they are no longer in play. 

Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania are swing states.

Other than Peltola, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Republican governor Mike Dunleavy won their elections as well.
