In the statement, Murkowski said she would not run as a Libertarian candidate, which means that if she does run it will be as a write-in candidate. In explaining her decision, Murkowski had some harsh words for the Tea Party Express, which backed Miller.

"...After meeting with the Libertarian candidate last week and considering that option, I cannot in good conscience seek the Libertarian nomination," she said. "As disappointed as I am in the outcome of the Primary and my belief that the Alaska Republican Party was hijacked by the Tea Party Express, an outside extremist group, I am not going to quit my party. I will not wrap myself in the flag of another political party for the sake of election at any cost."

You can’t go any more to the “right” than a Libertarian.
She would then be an “extremely right” wing radical.

Fiscal responsibility while advocating the government act within the constraints set forth by the Constitution.

This woman is a spoiled little brat. She deserves to become a little footnote in political history, and the sooner the better.
