Alaska is a coalition State, Murkoski (sp) the current senator, was not even the nominee of her party 2 cycles ago. An independent won the governorship with a Democratic LG 2 cycles ago. The current state House majority is a coalition of 15 Dems, 2 Republicans and 4 independents.
its far more informative and accurate to say Alaska is split between, Liberals, moderates and Conservatives, than to ever claim it is just split between Dems and Republicans.
You literally ignored the other part of the article which mentioned in the head to head Democrats still over performed the partisan lean of the state. With that said, the dynamics of Alaska, combined with Palin being such a bad candidate does make it difficult to draw conclusions based off that one Special Election. However, combine that with the other Special Elections since Dobbs and Democrats have clearly been outperforming Republicans considering the political dynamics of these districts.
Don't worry. By the time pro-choice women are done, it will be codified at the state AND federal level as well as guaranteed by a constitutional amendment.
We won't be fooled again.
I don't. If your side could get a constitutional amendment they didn't need to make new law from the bench and passed it by now. You ignored the fact that there are millions of women pro life. They also have a voice.

Bottom line: Sixty percent of voters selected a Republican (either Palin or Begich) as their preferred candidate, while only 40 percent selected a Democrat (Peltola), perhaps a better gauge of their actual partisan preferences. In fact, by that metric, the Alaska special election was actually an overperformance for Republicans. Their 20-point combined margin over Peltola was 5 points better than the state’s R+15 partisan lean.

So called pro-life women who are anything but, are outnumbered by pro-choice women and you have forgotten the millions of men who love, support us and will vote with us.
We may not be able to get a constitutional amendment today, but now that we know we need it, we will not stop until we have it. We aren't going anywhere. Nor are our daughters and granddaughters.

The same goes for men who love and support women who are pro-life.
A more interesting question is percentage of men/women for whom abortion rights isn't an overriding issue. Voters with more pressing concerns.

Out performing? Republicans are outperforming Democrats in every primary. I know Democrats and media have to spin to try to save face but they don't have to lie. Numbers don't lie.

I'm sure we'll have a better idea after Nov.
Sure, but you are still outnumbered.
And, while the most pressing issue of most elections is the economy stupid, nothing is more central to a woman's/family's economy than children. Few things more expensive than raising a child. Women understand this.
The inability to control one's reproductive life is the inability to control one's economic status.
The inability to control one's economic status results in second class citizenship. The majority of women will never accept this either for themselves, their descendants, or other women.

Lots of men in for a rude awakening imo.
Time will tell.
