Murkowski's lead more than 10,000 votes
Anchorage Daily News ^ | 11/16/10 | SEAN COCKERHAM

Posted on 11/16/2010 6:52:07 PM PST by rhema

Today's review of write-in ballots ended with Sen. Lisa Murkowski enjoying an apparently insurmountable 10,420-vote lead over Joe Miller.

Murkowski also now has collected more votes that went unchallenged by Miller ballot observers than Miller's total vote count. That makes it appear as though Miller's lawsuit to seeking to toss out misspelled votes is irrelevant, since there aren't enough of those for him to win.

The Division of Elections has now counted a total of 100,868 votes for Murkowski. Miller has 90,448.

Sadly, though the Tea Party had some smashing success at the local levels (Congress), statewide Senate victories were a mixed bag at best,

Correct.

Perhaps the goal, as noted many times here at FR, needs to be to nominate electable Conservatives from now on,

Wrong. Dead wrong. To blame the candidate when the Party is the problem is to cave to the group that got us kicked out of power. If RINOs were so electable, then please explain what happened in California where RINOs have dominated the slate for the last three elections. Yet the last time a conservative ran, he lost by less than 5,000 votes despite being outspent 5:1, and without a nickel in party support.

Reasoning with the RINO’s is hopeless. They maintain that winning is more important than conservatism. How illogical is that. The “big tent” theory is now out the window. Drive the RINO’s back to the Demorats where they belong. If the people of California or Alaska want a Democrat, make them vote for one. Offer a true conservative as an alternative and if the ideas espoused don’t do the job, let them for for Murkowski (D), but not Murkowski (R).

I felt the same way. I thought Alaska’s primary was pretty much the GE.

I hate Murky. A lot.

and relegated primarily to red states.

It would help if people didn't buy into the commies in the media attempt to call free states "red".

I mean when you fall for the enemy within's propaganda hook line and sinker, and the right starts calling itself "red", its no wonder that the commies feel they can get away with anything.

Why do you say that? The entire fox “news” channel has been advocating for murkowski and against Miller since she decided to run as a write in. Did you not see mittwipe carl cameron and his dimwit colleague dan springer jump to the defense of the cbs reporters heard planning bogus stories against Miller that Sarah Palin broke the news on on the Sun. A.M. before the election? Even when you had the recording and transcript proving the news media was scheming against Miller, you had the dirty, mittwipe-bought, cameron throwing cold water on the story all day long Sunday along with dimwit springer because it was Sarah Palin and they can’t let Palin win.. And beta-Bret baier et al did not report that cbs fired the reporters that they had been defending on Tuesday of the election. FUC*YOU FOX “NEWS”.

It's amazing how many dead people voted in Alaska to vote in a liberal dressed in conservative clothes. We need to have Rhino Lisa go through one of those x-ray machines at the airport a few thousand times to see if there are any side effects from it. She is a crash dummy, you know.

You mean like Olympia Snowe?

Personally, I would rather take a chance with a true conservative than “win” with a proven Rino.

IMO a RINO is worse than a Dem.

What about the estimated 25,000 to 30,000 absentee military ballots still to be counted on the 17th?


Those have been counted all along during this process as they came in as I understand what they were doing. The 17th is the drop dead date for them to be received to be legit votes.

Not sure where the 25 - 30,000 vote number came from. They only mailed out just over 13,000 UOCAVA ballots in 2008 thus I doubt the number double this year. I’d bet it’s less since this is a mid term election as opposed to a presidential election.

Certainly, because a RINO prevents a conservative from running. A Demorat does not.
