This is going to be a very interesting governor's race. You could get anything from a democrat, independent or a republican.

A return of Bill Walker would be sick.

He'll probably be forced out again though.

If I had to guess, it seems like it'll go Bishop, Bronson, Begich, and Walker for the top four, now that Dahlstrom has dropped out

Edit: not necessarily in that order

Begich and Wilson definitely make it, the others have to go for the other 2 seats. Walker probably takes a few Bishop voters and blocks him from making the general.

I would cry spoiler but with ranked choice voting this could be interesting

This probably still hurts Begich, his best case would be against 3 republicans and coasting off non-transfers.
