What a cunning stunt.

"I'm not much of a poker player, but the analogy I've been using is that I'm sitting there and I've been dealt a six and an eight," Murkowski told the paper.

"I'm not much of a poker player, but the analogy I've been using is that I'm sitting there and I've been dealt a six and an eight. But it is possible."

Shameless pandering to the "People Who Say Everything Twice Party," a major force in Alaska politics.

One good thing experts found about hereditary legislators: they usually had a little more class than the hoi polloi.

When that's gone, you start to wonder why we let them hang around so long.

Clearly, she thinks she can throw this away from Miller. But I wouldn’t be so sure about that. The only people who will write her in are the bitter-enders who are so angry they would probably vote for the Dem to spite the pubbies for not renominating her. In other words, she may draw from them rather than Miller.

How many reputations and honorable standings have been thrown willingly down the toilet since obamanation wormed its way into the country??? Both on the right and left!

Of course this deceiver, just as specter and crist and castle, will loose but the point for them is not the loosing. It is the revenge. It is personal. It is not about the good of the party and certainly NOT about the good of the country. They couldn’t care less about either. The party and the country were both vessels to an end for these self-seeking egotistic frauds. They are so burning with bruised egos that they are willing to set fire to everything, themselves included, just to get the satisfaction of destroying their opponents as well.

TRULY SHAME ON THEM. THEY ARE MORE THAN DISGUSTING. THEY ARE A PERVERSIONS.

The GOP leadership, at this point, should strip her of any and all leadership assignments, committee appointments, and throw her out of their caucus. They should also sue her, and her campaign for any monies remaining in her campaign fund donated by and through them. Like that would ever happen.

Scientisits can probably prove that, evolutionarily speaking, GOP leaders evolved the same time as jellyfish. No backbone.

RINOs are know for having small brains, and having sudden, angry actions.

All the other pro-aborts down at the Junior League were just miffed over the nerve of mere voters to remove Lisa the babykiller "moderate" and all-purpose airhead from her ancestral Senate seat. Too bad, sooooo sad!

Let Lisa split the liberal vote with the unknown Demonrat. Also, prepare another Joe Miller to be the nominee for the Ted Stevens/Begich seat or run the new conservative governor for that Senate seat and get a new solid conservative to run for governor. Let Alaska continue to be the first beachhead in the war against RINOs.

Above all, elect Christine O'Donnell in Delaware and make the RINOs and other leftists gargle sulfuric acid. She has raised $1.5 Million generally plus $42,000 from the RSCC and another reported $150,000 since winning on Tuesday night when she had only $50,000 left in her campaign fund. Her demolition of the despicable Castle has definitely struck a nerve in our enemies. Let's make it count by seeing her elected.

Anyone know Alaska Election Law? Does the winner have to have better than 50% the vote to win? Or will it cause a runoff? If runoff votes should be pissed at extra cost and Lise would loose big then...

I’d like to see Charles Krauthammer weigh in on this one. If he doesn’t lay into Murkowski with the same vengeance that he reserved for O’Donnell in the Delaware race, then he’s a hypocritical SOB.

If the GOP wants to win this seat, they must immediately put pressure on Mitch McConnell to remove Murkowski from all committee positions immediately.

Send a deep and serious message. No pussyfootin’ around about it.

Show Chrissy Matthews what Hardball really is.

Open your wallets for Miller, gang. This sore loser needs to be taught a harsh lesson.

In return, the Tea Party should field a write-in candidate against Mark Kirk in IL. That will get the EstablishPubs’ attention.

Miller won with the backing of the Tea Party Express and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R). The Tea Party Express spent hundreds of thousands of dollars criticizing Murkowski's legislative accomplishments, and Palin campaigned against her rival in the race's closing days...

"Her Rival?"

She has not formally said she will run, but her campaign is inviting reporters to call in. Murkowski spokespeople were not immediately available for comment Friday afternoon.

Is this a trial balloon then? Maybe if she gets enough flak about it, she'll say, "Well I never said I was running, it was said about me by folks in the media."

If she does run a write in campaign, she'll just cement the idea that she's a Sore Loserman, because the VOTERS had the chance to choose a candidate, and they didn't choose HER. Maybe the folks in AK are just tired of the Murkowski family running things, and want to give others a chance.
