1
What is the different between saying "she went on to lose" and just "she lost"?
"She went on to lose" in this context means that even though Meisenheimer won the card drawing and continued campaigning, she ended up losing the election in the end.

In this sentence, does the meaning stay the same even I change "whether" to "if"?
Unfortunately, you cannot use "if" in this sentence. If a sentence is conditional and only presents one option, it is usually okay to use "whether" and "if" interchangeably. However, if a conditional sentence presents two alternatives, you should always use "whether". "Whether" in this context is a conjunction used to show similarity and equality between alternatives. It is not quite the same as saying "if", but it is similar to saying "no matter if". Ex: Anyone can apply for university, whether you are old or young. Ex: You should eat breakfast whether you want to or not. Ex: I don't know if she's going to the party. Ex: He didn't say whether or not he is interested in the job. Ex: Whether rain or shine, we will still have the soccer game.

It can also be used to mean prepare yourself or get ready, especially for something shocking or surprising, whether in a good or a bad way. Ex: Strap in, ladies and gentlemen, these financial results are not great. Ex: Strap in for one of the wildest action films of the year!
