Murkowski will hold a press conference in twenty minutes. Being generous, let’s say there are 7000 valid GOP votes left to be counted. Murkowski would need 61% of them to win. She’s done.
@shushwalshe: Murkowski staffer: "She is calling her family now. It looks like she will come out + concede. That's what we recommended to her."

Joe Wilson rocks!
WOO HOO!!!
Congratulations to Joe Miller....and a thank you to Murkowski for not dragging it out. Now is the time to get behind the winner. Onward to November (and beyond :-)
“Good for Sarah. Some poll said Sarah’s endorsement was practically meaningless?”
This does raise Sarah Palin stock - but after all, this was Alaska and Palin has had a very high approval rating there. The question is not whether Gov. Palin can win in Conservative states, but whether she can cobble together enough purple states to win the POTUS 2012 and whether voters in those states after having been SHELLSHOCKED by Obama’s total inexperience and pathetic actuals (we all knew what was going to happen) will swing to the right and elect a relatively inexperienced Palin to the highest office in the land, or will they put someone like Jim DeMint in there who has more federal experience, and whose Conservative stock is also rising (which a very nice satchel of Senate Conservative Fund victories including Miller also).

Incumbent Lisa Murkowski has conceded to challenger Joe Miller in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate.
Woo Hoo! Prayers to Miller. WOW.
We have a live thread going....sigh.. but this win is SO GOOD I’LL PING THE LIST AGAIN.

“Breaking news on the Fox News Channel: Greta just announced that Murkowski has called Joe Miller and has conceded.
WOO HOO!!!”
This is a MASSIVE victory for the Tea Party movement. This is against ALL odds, against all conventional wisdom, against all the pollsters and unlike Scott Brown, with Joe Miller we have someone that will uphold the Tea Party vision much more fervantly and consistently.
Congratulations to Joe and to all who are part of the Tea Party movement!
“Murkowski Concedes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
IT IS HAPPENING! It is really happening!
True change and good hope are coming to our country.
From the tea party nutz.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL... Miller time!!!
“I would like to see her take some time off and genuinely reassess her positions, hopefully moving right and challenging for Ted’s old seat.”
The problem is that she has no principals, at least none that remotely resemble a conservative. She did not want to repeal ObamaCare. She wanted to fix it. That is the proof in the pudding.
