Interesting, I would have thought it would be lean R. I think if Palin is 3rd, the other republican would win this seat easily.

I think At large is used when there is only 1 seat in that state.

I think it is called that because there is just the one district that represents all of Alaska.

That will give her a boost for November's race.
