Could a candidate like Sarah Palin beat Murkowski in the primary and still have enough wind left in her sails to take down Knowles?

I don't see why not. It's a little like the Sam Brownback/ Sheila Frahm thing in Kansas, I think.

If anything whoever took down Murkowski would have momentum. Would Palin have high negatives from a primary campaign? I doubt it. She'd be the underdog, the people's champion.

I admit I'm quite surprised, but there's a LOT of anti-Murkowski sentiment and discontent going on right now. Couple that with Lisa being liberal and a challenge to her should be a MUCH higher priority than the Toomey thing.

Would Sarah have the money to ultimately win the seat?

Someone should call her up and ask her about the race. Google rocks:
