We have dumb voters in Alaska just as much as anywhere else.
It may be a red state but a large majority are really voting from the middle of the highway so to speak, plus by the nature of few and precious jobs combined with limited seasonal work people will vote for whoever promises more pork, more earmarks, more under the table construction bribes and of course more Federalized social programs.
Was Miller a bad candidate?
No he wasn’t, he is targeted just like Sarah Palin, they tried every trick they could to cast him in a bad image, from staging a security shuffle to now performing a Macarthy style witch hunt for lost e-mails. Digging for dirt and then throwing it up in the air hoping it makes him dirty.
Joe Miller earned all the right credentials, Iraq tanker vet, West Point grad, and a very conservative family Conservative. Basically the image of everything that the left despises. Lisa will back anything for popularity, including the Dream Act.
Just caught this thread - does it seem to you that Miller has a chance here?
I sure hope so.
(Hope you’re doing well, too!)
