Could Mark Begich be elected again as US Senator in Alaska?

Let's see in 2014 most Alaskans fired him as US Senator to junior US Senator Dan Sullivan.  Could Mark Begich win again in Alaska.  Let's travel  in a time machine where 30 years ago to 1986. One term US Senator Slade Gorton was voted out of office in Washington State only to run two years later and defeated Mike Lowry.  Where he served two more terms after Dan Evans choose not serve again.  Many Alaskans like Mark Begich.  I predicted two years that he would run against Murkowski in this posthttp://swensonfamilymember.blogspot.com/2014/11/alaska-congressman-don-young-or-us.html . 
In this election even he does a write in he would get a seat at the table.  This would be a big table for KTUU and KTVA to have at the debate table.  Margaret Stock and Ray Metcalfe by themselves could not get at least 30 percent of the vote.  You would have the big three.  Lisa and Mark would try to be the adults in the room.  Joe would discuss freedom and Alaskan Independence.  Here is the thing Ray served with Lisa's father in the legislature.  Margaret would just eat popcorn wondering when to chime in.  If Mark Begich runs we shall see.  

Alaska Democrats are asking Ray Metcalfe to drop out of US Senate Race

Most Democrats do not support this nominee.  Most support Independent candidate Margaret Stock.  Ray does not support the values of most Alaska Democrats such as too strict on gun control.  This is a problem with Alaskan natives.  He also supports Alaska staying in a welfare refusing to let industry support the state.  His ideas are too radical for Alaska.  He has been known to cause craziness while not going about the governor they put in office for reducing a permanent fund dividend.
