Murkowski: Alaskans Rejected Politics of Anger
By not in system - AOL News
(Nov.18) -- Sen. Lisa Murkowksi, claiming an improbable write-in victory in Alaska's Senate race, signaled her independence Thursday and said voters in the state rejected the politics of anger in choosing her over a tea party candidate endorsed by Sarah Palin. "The numbers are what they are and they clearly indicate Alaskans have not only spoken, they have written it down," she said in an interview from Anchorage with NBC's "Today" show. Murkowski's ultra-conservative Republican opponent, Joe Miller, has yet to concede, but the Associated Press called the race for the incumbent on Wednesday ...

That's One Angry Hillary Supporter
By Dave - Politics Daily"The Democratic Party threw us down the tubes?" No, no, no. It's throw under the bus Ms. Christian. And yikes, maybe there is something to those disenchanted Hillary supporters going to McCain. Make sure you stay with the clip to the end. Again, this just underscores that there is no rational reason for Hillary to get out of the race. She's going to the convention and in the worst case, she loses there but gets the airtime and facetime of the national TV spotlight being gracious. It will be her 1976 Reagan moment. Her supporters will definitely support it and who knows, Obama may yet ...

McCain's Marvelous Madness
By Justin Paulette - Politics DailySen. McCain has dismissed the political pursuit of popularity (which he claims to be the motivation of Sen. Clinton), stating in very clear terms that sometimes it's a good thing for a politician to make people angry. Of, course, he is positioning himself as angering "the business-as-usual crowd in Washington," which would place him squarely on the side of an electorate sickened by political scandal an inaction. Nonetheless, the nod to manly resilience in the face adversity, and the concurrent slap to "I'm OK, you're OK" political correctness, is refreshing in the current political climate. ...
