Knowing their candidate couldn’t win, and preferring a RINO over a proven conservative, I believe a large number of democrats “crossed over” to support the Murkowski write-in candidacy.

Isn't that what elections are all about? Voting for the candidate that you think will serve you the best? It seems that you are arguing that Democrats did just that... and for doing so, they are wrong.

If you read the article carefully, you’ll see the author doesn’t have a problem with the democrats crossing over.

I really can’t blame the democrats who crossed over to vote for Murky. It was a smart move on their part. I would do the same thing if the roles were reversed.

here are the author's remarks about the dems crossing over.

We can all agree that Murkowski had her chance in the primary and lost fair and square. She should have gone home and not given the dems the chance to choose, yet again, our candidate.

The point is that Murkowski was wrong. She essentially ran as a dem to get elected and should be regarded as a dem from here on out. I don't blame dems for voting for one of their own.
