Lisa Murkowski Defeats Joe Miller, Hangs On to Alaska Senate Seat

here's something that everyone seems to overlook. Murkowski, Thurmond, Murkowski, Thurmond, Murkowski....do these names resonate? I smell special interest manipulation of the election process.

I think it is very sad that she won. Really wonder how she pulled it off especially after losing the primaries. Looks a little funny to me. Personally do not think she deserves it. Sorry Joe.

where were all these alleged write in ballots during the primaries, and how come all write ins were for liz m

Oops, another big loss for Palin. say it ain't so, Joe.

Its amazing what you can buy on the open market in America these days. A senate seat for crying out loud!

Murkowski is a RINO. I'm suspicious and distrustful of these "sometimes I am sometimes I'm not" politicians. They seem to have no loyalties except to themselves...

Get your facts straight mainlymodernist and look at Lisa Murkowski. She was supported by the Alaskans Standing Together, a for profit company, established to help Murkowski . They put out attack ads about Joe Miller that were false. They had a vested financial interest in Murkowski winning. Lisa Murkowski pursued lobbyists especially super lobbyist Heather Podesta. Murkowski is entrenched with lobbyists and has the “Alaska Mafia” behind her. As I have already said she is old school. She is in a time warp. Money is no longer there for her to spend. She just indicated that she wants the money. She likes earmarks. The woman has no clue that what she wants impacts all 50 states. It is all about herself and not the people of Alaska.

This particular election has restored my faith in people. If people take the time to actually write in the name (correctly or not) of their choice, that shouts loud and clear that this is the person they want for the position. If I still lived in Alaska I would have done the same thing. I have been following Joe Millers campaign and will state that it is fact that you cannot believe everything you read, there was enough evidence there in what I could verifiy as having a factual basis that I would not have voted for this man. As far as the individual who posted about the law stating that the name had to be spelled correctly, it is yet another stupid law intended to even further separate the perception of the educated vs the uneducated. I believe that the intention and the desires of the people of Alaska have been shown stated.

Very happy for Murkowski and for the people of Alaska! And aside from all of the other, more substantive problems I have with Miller, I sure wish one of his handlers would let him know that the 5-o'clock-shadow look has been out for some time now, and wearing it makes him look just a wee bit narcissistic.

Daddy would be so proud.
