Palin Hunts a Momma Grizzly

Sarah Palin has accused Senator Murkowski of becoming "part of the big government problem in Washington."

By JOHN FUND

Allies of Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski are looking over their shoulders before Tuesday's GOP primary. Internal polls taken for her campaign show Fairbanks attorney Joe Miller closing the gap. A new RT Nielson poll also has Ms. Murkowski's lead down to 47% to 35%. If accurate, it shows Ms. Murkowski below the level of support where an incumbent can be considered safe.

Ms. Murkowski has outspent her rival by almost 20 to 1, but she has yet to demonstrate a secure grip on a seat that she was appointed to by her father Frank when he was governor in 2002. In 2004, Ms. Murkowski won only 58% against an underfunded challenger in the GOP primary and almost lost to a Democrat that fall.

“If Lisa wins, it would be a huge setback for Palin.”

.
Not really, although the MSM dogs will play it that way. Incumbants are not normally considered vulnerable within their party.

On the other hand, should Miller win, or even come close, it will signal massive “Palin Power.”

If Sarah’s candidate can’t win the GOP Primary in AK, it will raise some questions about her influence.

Darn skippy it will and I'm predicting some heads here to explode Wednesday morning if Murkowski wins. The spin attempts will be awesome to behold.

I'm voting for Joe Miller in spite of, not because of, Palin's endorsement and I'm not alone in AK.
