“Miller is toast. You can thank the GOP machine for that.”

I am not sure what you mean. I assume that Joe Miller had the support of the Republican party in Alaska.

I am shocked that she could pull it off. It has never been done in modern times. Strom Thurmond did it many years ago under very different circumstances. I find it even more remarkable that she pulled it off splitting the conservative vote (or at least Republican vote). I wish that she did not pull it off because she is not a reliable conservative. I prefer her to the rat however.

She pulled it off because Alaska population is small. Most cities in the country have more people than Alaska.

And Murky has excellent name recognition there.

A bit of trivia regarding the 1954 Thurmond write-in win.

Guess who won the World Series that year?.... Yep the New York Giants. Who won this year?....... The San Francisco Giants. Different city but same franchise....
