Lisa Murkowski may lose because she didn't denounce ObamaCare.
It looks as if Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, the ranking Republican on the Energy Committee, has lost her GOP primary to Joe Miller, a former judge who made maximum use of his endorsements from Sarah Palin and Tea Party groups.
The moderate Sen. Murkowski is trailing by 2,000 votes this morning, and she would have to take over 60% of the absentee votes still outstanding to overcome that gap.
Should he be declared the victor, Mr. Miller will be the overwhelming favorite in the general election in conservative Alaska and a national symbol of the Tea Party insurgency. He grew up in Kansas but moved west to Alaska 16 years ago. A former U.S. Magistrate Judge in Fairbanks, he is a member of the conservative Federalist Society. He earned a Bronze Star for bravery in the Gulf War after graduating near the top of his class at West Point.
