Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin didn’t wait long to admonish Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s write-in campaign as the senator tries to retain her seat.
Minutes before Murkowski took the podium at her planned announcement Friday evening in Anchorage, Palin tweeted that the primary voters had already made their choice for her backed candidate, attorney Joe Miller.
“Primary voters spoke. Listen to the people, respect their will; w/a 40-pt incumbent lead & $2.8 million war chest, voters chose Joe instead,” wrote Palin online.
"My advice for Lisa is the same for anyone who sees a grizzly in the woods. DON'T RUN,” wrote Palin again on Twitter later that evening.
Addressing Iowa Republicans, Palin called Murkowski’s write-in effort “futile” when questioned about it by reporters.
Miller defeated Murkowski in the primary last month, but she told supporters Friday that she will run as a write-in candidate against him and Democratic nominee Scott McAdams this November.
Meanwhile, Miller, himself, took aim at Murkowski, telling the conservative magazine National Review that her “lifeblood is power.”
“This is a write-in campaign for a person named Lisa Murkowski,” Miller said. “We are not terribly concerned about it. It doesn’t change our approach. Our calculus is that we win. It is now Joe Miller versus the liberals.”

The big difference being, of course, that Alaska voters didn't ask Palin to 'go away'.
So when do we help with the Write In Murcowsky lawn signs?
Where’s the RNC calling Murkowski a scumbag? They better.
Murky just another old sore loser....
We sure got the dander up from Rove and Krauthammer when it was Christine, funny how there’s not a peep from either of them on this venomous, egocentrict woman Murkowskis?
murkowski seem to have misunderstood something. None will ever accuse her for being a quitter. YOU WERE FIRED!
Really poor decision! She’s history up here !
Good point, Rove and Krauthammer. Nothing to say about this at all? Normally so VERBOSE, on this one you’re what, TONGUE-TIED?
Just donated to Miller. Please everyone give what you can.
Yep. If Politico would read her book, they’d discover that she was indifferent to being turned down.
That’s because they like her. She is a fellow RINO, not a nasty conservative.
Aah you are an Alaskan. Please tell us what is the talk around the cafe or bar or back fence. What are the Alaskans saying?
I like Chris Christie/Sarah Palin 2012
Anyone listening to Joe Miller knows that he’s far more qualified to represent Alaska than the RINO whining cry baby who wants to feed her ego and feed her quest for power. For Murkowski, it’s Alaska be damned and the USA comes in last because it’s all about her, the Ruling Class Queen of Sore Losers.
