Statement from Alaska Republican Party:
Anchorage, Alaska -
Today Senator Lisa Murkowski announced she would re-enter Alaska's US Senate race as a write in candidate. Regardless of her decision the Alaska Republican Party stands firm behind our elected Republican Senate candidate Joe Miller.
"The Alaska Republican Party has been respectful of Senator Murkowski's service and tried to give her a moment of pause with which she could come to the right decision," said Alaska Republican Party Chairman Randy Ruedrich. "I am disappointed the Senator has decided not to respect the will of Alaska's Republican Primary voters. The 2010 Republican Primary turnout of 110,688 set a new Republican turnout record. I was hoping Senator Murkowski would recognize this fact and acknowledge this election was not an anomaly, misunderstanding, or mistake, but rather the definitive decision of a large plurality of Alaska primary voters. That decision deserves her respect."
"I want to make perfectly clear to Senator Murkowski and all of Alaska's Republicans that she will receive no support of any kind from the Alaska Republican Party," Ruedrich went on to say. "Lisa has chosen to run against the Republican Party and its primary voters. We will treat her candidacy as we would anyone who chooses to oppose our party's nominees."
Well, the sore loser witch did it. She’s going for the write-in.
What are you hearing about it?
Yep, you betcha. She has $1.5 Million.
I hope Rush will talk about this race on Monday.
I don’t much care about the ‘Republican Party’ support of Miller.
I’d much prefer support from the ‘Conservative Party’......
;-)
Joe Miller on with Greta by phone, saying the Murkowski write-in quoting Senator Stevens is in contrast to what Stevens, himself, said at the Lincoln Day event in Alaska... that she has $8 million burning a hole in her pocket that was donated to her as a Republican and now she is pulling a Crist... also she left a nasty voice mail for Miller after he was elected.
I just hope RUSH is back on the job Monday...
Yeah, but the GOTV party machinery is important. Murkowski will not have any of that. She has to get them from the unions, and all that does is steal resources from the Dems.
She probably doesn’t even remember what she said on the voice mail what with likely being blackout drunk. If she was sober then she is one major moron.
I am becoming increasingly curious as to what the voice mail says, its probably a real doozy...LOL!
I just tried to donate via Joe Miller’s website but I got some kind of error when I hit the submit button. I don’t know if it went through or not. I’ll try again tomorrow.
This is the best campaigning I have ever seen...

Right. I found the video and posted the link in post number 11.
I bet castle does something similar in Delaware.
Isn’t it time for the Republicans in Alaska to DEMAND that Murkowski return their donations?
Thanks, John, I saw the damn thing, but others might want to see it...lol. She’s so full of herself and she’s not fooling anyone. Surrounded by Union members and NEA and all staged for the TV audience. Imagine that Union members and NEA are really Republican stalwarts, huh? /s
I hope we hear it in a campaign ad
Me too, tubebender. I hope Rush is able to return to his Golden mike on Monday.
Rush will raise hell about this and hopefully ask his audience to send money to Joe Miller.
I honestly don’t know how the Alaska Republican Party can allow her run as a Republican? Maybe they’re not.
I wonder whether the National GOP plans to take any action about it, or if they can?
OH YEAH!
