I am disappointed that it was only 100. It would have been great if it would have been 1000+.
God, that is funny.
CURSE THAT DARNED FIRST AMENDMENT, FREEDOM OF SPEECH THING!
Well at least now it’ll be harder to count every crayon mark on a ballot as a vote for the Princess. With the way it is going I’m surprised the Alaska Supreme Court hasn’t ruled that any vote for ANY candidate with an M in his or her name is automatically a vote for her.
I am Murkowski, no I am Murkowski.
Please explain how this makes a difference to Lisa Murkowski. Are these candidates listed somewhere for the voter to pick?
Let’s hope there were some more “murkowski’s” signing up as write-ins, just to “murk” up the waters a little more.
Ok. I’m confused about how this is going to help.
Isn’t Lisa Murkowski a ‘write in’ candidate?
Her name won’t be listed on the ballot, so having 100 Lisa’s wouldn’t make any difference. Especially if people don’t know who the other “Lisa’s” are.
Actually I think a court ruled yesterday that supporters could hand out a paper with her name on it, outside the polling places. Everything on the up and up there, and the RNC is hedging their bets, being the worthless wuss’s they are.
Yes these are INTERESTING TIMES.
I was kind of hoping someone named Lisa Marcubski or Morecowski or something would show up, so they couldn’t pull the misspelling trick and say that anything remotely resembling Murkowski counted as a vote for her.
In any case, the presence of more write-in candidates should make it more doubful that they can certify any kind of scrawl or scribble as a vote for Princess Lisa.
They could declare that pointed objects represent a danger at the polls and BAN all pens and pencils...that would do it.
I love this strategy.
Screw Murkowski (and I do mean that figuratively.)
I’m voting for Liza Markuskoy!
If you're not on the ballot, you're not on the ballot. Period. You should not be allowed to appear on an 11th hour proxy ballot cooked up by one of the candidates. The Alaskan Republican establishment, the very one that Palin took on, as as corrupt as anything I've seen coming out of Chicago. In fact, the Chicago boys could take a few lessons from this episode.
I say that conservatives ought to take out a new party name in all 50 states, including DC, P.R., and Guam, and call it... "Liberal Party", or better yet, "Democrat America Party, Inc.", file it, and get a 'volunteer' to register as they candidate in every state-wide Congressional election in 2012. That should split up plenty of the "DONKEY" constituency to blindly pull that trigger.
Are we REALLY sure this spat between Miller and Murkowski isn’t going to allow that schmuck McAdams to win? This is going to be a very serious problem if we lose another senate seat in bright red Alaska because of some spat between Palin and the establishment.
Miller did seem to be a good candidate, but his campaign appears to have faltered and been less than inspiring. I sure hope he has gotten he act together for this closing weekend.
My understanding is Democrats are going up with an ad buy in Alaska this weekend and now believe they have an opportunity to get McAdams elected.
Everyone in Alaska who had a first name beginning with L and a last name beginning with M and a SKI on the end should have filed...
I thought I’d seen it all during the 2008 election.
I was mistaken.
I wonder if anyone got on the ballot as “Not the white man’s bitch” as somebody tried to do in Wisconsin. That would be a hoot.
