Alaska Dem rival: Murkowski campaign a lost cause
RCP ^ | 9/25/10 | Becky Bohrer

Posted on 09/26/2010 4:47:15 AM PDT by paudio

The little-known Democrat in Alaska's Senate race is labeling Sen. Lisa Murkowski's write-in campaign as a lost cause.

Scott McAdams told The Associated Press on Saturday that it's "wishful thinking" on Murkowski's part if she thinks she can overcome history — and other factors after her loss in last month's GOP primary to Joe Miller — to pull off a win.

Translation: My internal polling shows she’s pulling voters away from me rather than Miller.

It, um, almost sounds like he doesn't want her in the race. LOL.

I wonder if when all is said and done Murky is going to try to take credit for Miller getting elected.

Murk is going to turn an embarassing defeat to Miller in the primary that could have been overcome in her future if she had done the right thing and supported him, to a colassal career ending humiliation that might just put her in the looney bin. She is not showing good judgement even from a selfish “whats in it for me” angle.

If it comes to it, Castle will do the same thing to Coons, giving COD the nod.

Murkowski is a whiney little witch and , thankfully, most conservative voters can see past her foot stomping. Too bad the GOP was afraid to strip her of her post. Those idiots need to go next.

The desperate, I’ve-been-wronged-and-I’m-steamed, scorned-woman, play-misty-for-me look I see on her face every time she’s on TV, says it all. That “I’m entitled” air does not play very well.
The sense that several others are giving, i.e. that she may hurt the dimowit more than the Miller, is also probably true. May she go down in infamy and drool in her oatmeal.

Finally, I agree with a Democrat. Hopefully, everyone of these rogue RINOS get defeated so they will think twice next time.

Right in there with Crist and Castle.

A good point has been made on several forums this week about how we conservatives have been lectured for years about being good sports and getting behind RINO’s when they win the primaries. Now with the shoe on the other foot the RINO’s are showing how that they’re only principles was their own political survival.

You are correct. This is what we see. Additionally Miller will not release his DD214.

There is no reason for Joe Miller to release his DD 214, Murkowski troll.
