This becomes a subjective mess, and one we can thank incumbent Senator Lisa Murkowski for. She lost the GOP nomination to Joe Miller, a Tea Party favorite who had the endorsement of Sarah Palin during the primaries.
Lisa Murkowski ran as a write-in, and showcased that the GOP isn't as united as they should be given that we are in the worst of times.
Joe Miller, had Murkowski not won, would likely be heading to Washington. However, I can't blame Murkowski for trying to keep her job.
All that being said, it has to be verified that the votes were in favor of Lisa. However do you really doubt that the majority of the votes aren't for her?
What are your views on the Alaska Election results 2010?
I really hope this is a sign of the times. What a great thing for a candidate to step outside the crony machine and win on her own merits. Only in Alaska? I hope not. This should be a strong signal to the RNC that they need to clean house, just like the new congress needs to do with subpoenas and investigations.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about?! Lisa Murkowski is a supreme insider/crony. That's why she had the arrogance to not accept the will of the primary voters and ran her write-in campaign.
ReplyDeleteWho cares . . . it's Alaska. Snow and polar bears . . . well snow anyway.

ReplyDeleteIf you believe that, you must be an Obama supporter. God knows best, after all.
The question is, when she wins will she still caucus with the Republicans? Probably, but the GOP might have left a bad enough taste in her mouth that she votes with the Dems, like the two lady Senators from Maine.
ReplyDeleteShe was voting that way anyway she is big Dem
ReplyDeleteShe will because she's talked about feeling liberated and not beholden to her party leaders since they backed Miller. Those are basically her own words from a local interview. She also admitting voting with her party at times because of an obligation and the games of politics. She also knows that she won due to votes from dems and independants and I think she'll keep that in mind. She may have been an 'insider' but she's smart, diligent , knows the issues and cares about Alaska. I'm glad she won. I'm a local if you couldn't tell. btw Palins endorsement of Miller only helped Lisa. People here know her and aren't pressed at all.
ReplyDeleteShe was appointed to her position by her father. She is as arrogant as BHO, a sore loser and is no Republican. Too bad for Alaskans.
ReplyDeletePray for President Obama...Psalm 109:8 "Let his days be few and brief; and let others step forward to replace him."
ReplyDeleteShe was appointed by her father and that made me biased against her, but she proved herself and went on to win a her seat on her own last election. She does a good job and people here know it. Don't feel sorry for us, at least we don't have Palin as govenor anymore!! Thank God for that!!
ReplyDeleteLisa Murkowski ran a clean campaign for the nomination. And lost. Miller sullied himself then and shortly thereafter. Miller ran a filthy dirty campaign!!!!! Maybe we all should think of limiting the mud and trash National candidates are allowed to throw. The choice was simple for me (52 years in Alaska). Thug or Lady. Jeff D.

ReplyDeleteWOW, didn't know they wrote about Obama in the bible. Idiot. Stop taking things out of context and using scripture to show how YOU feel about the pres.
SHE is a CUNT !!!!
ReplyDeleteAlaska used to be a patriotic state, conservative and strong on the Constitution, no more. The people spoke and Murkowski a sellout puppet to the liberal American hating left, couldn't handle the results so she spoiled the election process, violated the will of the people with massive election fraud, thanks to the communist union thugs and ballot stuffing!
ReplyDeleteMiller is a war hero, Murkowski is a zero. Alaska is right up there with California, a state in a death spiral lacking a soul.
I'm a combat vet who has been to Alaska on a number of occasions, no more now that you are trying to elect a loser who has done nothing for America except being put in office by her father. You cast out a warrior who defended your right to be morons. Shame on Alaska, losers!
She has no morals the the votes many assume she has received come from the same people who are not educated enough to spell her name correctly which is a Must to be counted. In the end Joe will win again as he did in the primary. She ran on a write-in for her own purpose and not for the people of Alaska
ReplyDeletesounds like an anti-Sarah statement to me more than anything else, just as the election nationally was a firm repudiation of Barack Obama and his liberal democrat policies and politicians. At least he'll have to be president now because Pelosi is on the way out; she's been the unelected pres up till now...
ReplyDeleteGod Almighty is still on His throne and still in charge!
