Breaking: Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski wins re-election to Senate as write-in candidate

[TonyInOhio]

Nothing follows.

[pissant]

Save your money Joe, and send the lawyers home.

[Parley Baer]

What a sorry excuse for a Senator.

[Comparative Advantage]

Un-freaking-believable!!

[Tzimisce]

Thanks Alaska.

Knew we could count on you to take a dump on us. :(

She “won” nothing....she is a thief...thieves don't win, they steal.

[Eye of Unk]

This is what happens to a lazy society.

[TexasCajun]

So, will she be a registered Independent and caucus with the Democrats?

[Fred]

Alaskans cannot do without their federal pork..all those special interests refused to let go of their pork trough. Murkowski is the perfect hog farmer...

[Jedidah]

Well, give her props.

She pulled off a very difficult feat. Now Alaskans have to live with it.

[AU72]

Thank the RNC, they could have nipped this in the bud by supporting the winning Republican candidate after the primary.

[Sacajaweau]

Sure looks like the Dems sabotaged Alaska.

Updated headline:

Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski wins re-election to Senate, becoming the first Senate candidate in more than 50 years to win a write-in campaign.

I'm waiting on the full article, but apparently the WSJ is calling the race based on current results. Perhaps they're trying to convince Miller to concede?

[HwyChile]

His biggest mistake was running on “cutting off Washington earmarks to Alaska”. Even the Alaska republicans do not want that to happen.

[paulycy]

This is for the Senate of the United States.

I hope Miller sues to recount manually and takes it to a higher court to get the actual law of Alaska upheld.

The Republicans need to learn how to win for a change.

[USSR Didnt Fall]

You mean the establishment won and the people lost...

[Venturer]

Th only thing she did was sabotage a Republican win. Who cares who she caucus’s with ,we know what she is.

She is a POS.

[stockpirate]

Thanks to the NRSC and the RNC.

[Maine Mariner]

Did the Republican political establishment in Alaska support Murkowski as a write in?

[Fawn]

She’s such a bitter nut case...
