Lieberman won as an independent in CT after losing in the democrat primary. I haven’t been following all the details of this vote count, but Murkowski may have just done what Lieberman did in CT: win the centrist vote. Many of the democrats may have decided their candidate couldn’t win and switched over to voting for Murkowski. That’s similar to what happened in CT when a lot of democrats voted for Lieberman and gave him the win in that election.

Yeah, but Skank won it with a write-in, which is a logistical nightmare if you only have two months to pull it off, it certainly tells us what HP her machine had - probably a lot of NRSC fingerprints all over it.

I think there’s a good chance that a moderate third party candidate could win if both major parties go hard to their base.

But, but, but...I thought everyone is a hard-right conservative, and there are just a few bleeding-heart liberals and mushy moderates...! Do you mean to say that not everyone in America is rushing to the right?

Wow...imagine that. We might actually have to get off our butts and convince our fellow Americans that we have the right answers. Instead of building personality cults, we might have to focus on issues. Instead of fighting for offices, we might have to fight for the hearts and minds of voters.

Nah..too much work. Let's just go back to whining and claiming it's all voter fraud. </sarc>


(socialism_stinX and drubyfive, thank you for giving me hope that some conservatives still get it. :-)

Lieberman wasn't a write-in candidate. Murkowski wasn't on the ballot as an Independent.
