She's got good skills.
We'll see how much money she raises.
Some Democrats said to me they were not sure she can raise money.
But Peltola has got a chance.
Now,
I don't really think you can make her the favorite against an incumbent Republican in a very red state.
I don't quite understand the explanations I got in reporting for this, why people are so high on her chances.
But I can't rule it out.
Again, ranked choice voting makes it weird.
We'll see who the other two finalists are.
But that's another one.
That's one of the final pieces that could come together.
I would be surprised if Dan Sullivan lost this race.
Again, what does it take to beat an incumbent senator?
An A candidate?
Is she an A candidate?
I think she's arguably an A candidate.
But then it takes a Republican senator to not raise money, to have a scandal and be complacent.
Don't see it.
Don't see those factors with Dan Sullivan.
