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."

Wow, these politicians just can’t get over themselves, can they? McCain in AZ doesn’t know when to call it a day. Crist in FL. Arlen Specter. Then we’ve got a total unknown here in CO running under the Repub banner that doesn’t have a snowball’s chance, but won’t get out because of his ego. Disgusting all of them.
I predict she will switch parties. Whether during lame duck session or after.
We don’t need any more “get along” Republicns. We need conservatives willing to fight for what’s right. Move over, Murkowski...the people of Alaska have spoken.
Me thinks Lisa is smoking too much whale blubber.
They’re all in the same country club, with benefits for life.
Term limits, no perks of any kind.
Thank You. she is a has been plain and simple.
This is exactly why Lisa needs to concentrate on finding a proper location for Murkowski Pontiac...
Did they ask? I bet she tested the water to see if she could.
It says she will announce her decision on Friday. So she is still seeking the limelight. but she hasn’t yet announced a decision.
I think all this selfish and angry behavior is enough to wreck any future chance for her in politics.
Which is certainly a good thing. What a loser. I knew that she was corrupt and privileged, but I didn’t realize she was this stupid.
More like the Libertarians refused (you), Murkowski!
Still doesn’t get it.
It’s not like we didn’t tell the RINOS their azz was grazz.
They should have listened to the real American people.
“hijacked by the Tea Party Express, an outside extremist group”
Ok, extremist is her opinion but outside? Doesn’t she know that the people who voted her out in the primary are Alaska residents? What a ditz.
Yeah, we’re upsetting their boat.
Murkowski is a loser who cannot accept that fact. She thinks that since she first got that office via her dad’s bequest, that it must be hers as birthright. Algore had the same type of problem. These people can’t lose gracefully and then support the winner. Since they consider themselves nobility, it is then their duty to become a permanent pain in the ass. That’s what she is doing now. She is no longer a Republican, Alaskan, or arguably even American. She is the fading center of her own shrinking universe, at odds with all outside it. Politicians can be some really sad sacks of shit.
LOL
They turned you down honey. That’s why you aren’t leaving.
Have some moose cheese and some Oregon whine.
I wonder if the Establishment acted like this in 76 and 80 toward Reagan?
Boo hoo...”daddys girl” is having a “temper tantrum”
