He won the primary, wasted time measuring the drapes in Washington, and then when he finally realized he had a fight on his hands, ran the WORST campaign possible.

Makes no difference. Anyone could spend one hour researching the candidates and their stance on the issues and see that Miller was far superior to Murkowski. Those who voted for Murkowski, both Republican and Democrat, did not want to see a conservative representing them.

They got their wish.

“Miller was far superior to Murkowski”

That is the rub. In a primary, with limited voters and participation, it is far easier for the better, “pure conservative” candidate to pull of an upset win. It is something entirely different to win a general election. Let's face it, Miller ran a miserable campaign and the voting population does not necessarily share the same views and values as conservative Freepers do. If the election is indeed over, consider this event as lessons learned in the quest to purge all Rinos.

Voters don’t vote for checklists on paper. They vote for Senators.
