WASHINGTON — Her re-election quest suddenly in jeopardy, Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski struggled to avoid becoming the latest incumbent lawmaker to be fired. She fought against a political novice with the backing of Sarah Palin and tea party activists in a stunningly tight Republican primary race.

With more than half of the precincts counted, little-known attorney Joe Miller, a decorated Gulf war veteran and self-described “constitutional conservative,” led 51 percent to 49 percent in contest that, in the end, amounted to an Alaska-sized GOP family feud.

Mesta Machine just posted to me on the thread I've stayed on all night!

ALASKA EXCLUSIVE 4:20 a.m. ET:

In a phone conversation from Anchorage just now, Miller campaign staffer Harmony Shields said that the results are “probably going to be inconclusive tonight,” although Miller’s lead is now nearly 3,000 votes with about two-thirds of precincts reporting, and they believe they will win.

Miller gave a short speech to the crowd at the Egan Center, thanking his volunteers.
