As I’ve so often pointed out, Alaska is an odd place, politically.
The Last Frontier is a red state for the most part, although it’s not a red state in the same sense that Texas or Alabama are red states. Alaska has a strong libertarian bent; Alaskans are, by and large, some of the most “mind your own business and leave me alone” people you’re liable to find anywhere.
But the legislature, while technically dominated by Republicans, is still on the squishy side. And, thanks to ranked-choice voting, we have a Democrat representing us in Congress – and, of course, there’s the issue of Princess Lisa Murkowski.
Presidential politics here in the Great Land, though, are more decided. The last time Alaska sent its electoral votes to a Democrat was in 1964 when in the second election after statehood, the people voted for Lyndon Johnson over Barry Goldwater.
Now, though, Bloomberg is asking…
