Alaska hit by last-minute write-in bids (Strategery in action)

Just hours before the final deadline, dozens of Alaskans came out Thursday to register as write-in candidates in an effort to thwart Sen. Lisa Murkowski's bid to retain her Senate seat.

At the urging of a local talk radio host, more than 50 people reportedly signed up to be write-in candidates with the Alaska Division of Elections before registration closed.

Well played alaskans. Saw this earlier today that some were planning this. Your move, Mookiski.

[KoRn]

I hope Lizza Merkousky registered as a write in candidate, and others with ‘similar names’.

[Ravi]

Could be up to 200 names on that write-in list.

[paudio]

I really hope of those 50+ people, at least 2-3 with names like Liza Moskowsky or Lisa Maruski. Now, how are the state going to decide the intend based on ‘wrong spelling’?

Alaska is fast becoming my Favorite State (Currently its Texas!)

I hate Cold weather but Damn this is just my kinda people!

After the Kid gets through college I may have to start looking for property in our 50th State!

[Mad Dawgg]

err I mean 49th State...

Now will these write-in candidates vote for themselves and not Miller?

[Ravi]

I seriously doubt that. All to confuse Muerkouskie voters.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Oh, don't worry it will happen.

To me, this is the PERFECT legal, civil disobedient, political guerilla theater to thwart the powers that be, not seen in a long time. Good shoe Alaskans!

This can also serve as an operaational template for when / if, Obama in one fell swoop decides he is going to legalize 20 million illegal aliens to ready them for the 2012 election in payback for the 2010 debacle he is going to go through. The Federal system can be legally swamped in such a way that those illegals will have to wait years upon years to get there proper "papeles".

Grassroots power at work, folks.

[montag813]

NOW watch as the corrupt Alaska court stops this too.

They're all voting for Miller. Being registered as write-ins gets their name on the list being handed out to all the Mikoosky voters.

That is some slick stuff AK. I love this idea. Give this rotten loser Murkowski her own medicine. Cool.

[tennmountainman]

Thats right. It could be 200 names.

[presently no screen name]

Right, that’s the reason but wonder if a few will be tempted or their family members will be tempted.

THANK YOU FOR THE BIGGEST LOL OF THIS SEASON!!

lmfao! Bless you.

[presently no screen name]

Right. I understand and applaud the idea but I was just wondering if some will be tempted.

[1035rep]

Go Alaskans!
