I think it is a good idea. From my understanding on how it works, my analysis is that it "forces" a candidate to appeal to the wide audience, not just the fringe sides.

You mean former politician, commentator, author, and reality television personality Sarah Palin not getting elected?

Meh. It would be difficult to make the case that it changed the outcome. Begich voters preferred Pelota to Palin, which they communicated directly.

The one in 2010, where Democrats and Republicans alike wrote in enough ballots to get Murkowsky voted in over both the Democratic and Republican candidates? What better evidence could you need that Alaskans consider the candidate over the party and the true preference of the electorate might be someone other than a party favorite.
