Murkowski Vote

How many Murkowski votes came from Demos wanting to give a black eye to Sarah Palin and the Tea Party?

It does not make sense that Joe Miller could win the primary and then have that many votes against him without the help of Demos voting for Murkowski. I realize Joe Miller made some mistakes but that still does not account for that many write in votes.

*****That's probably correct , but what Murkowski did was within the Law. Also Miler insisting upon the precise name written uot is legally correct.

In a larger state this kind of tactic by Murkowski would not have succeeded- but She is Well known up there as is her Father and She is the incumbant.

***** 2 years ago in Connecticut Joe Lieberman ran after losing the Primary to a far out Leftist - but he had time to get a proper line on the ballot.

***** Net result the seat stays with the GOP , but the Party in Alaska is divided for the forseeable future.

***** AP just gave it to her

Her past record indicates she is very much a RINO. Let's hope she gets religion, and sees the light. But her recent statements show no signs of that.
