I may be wrong. I know little about AK.

It was telling that Murkowski was able to defeat Palin (by proxy) as a write-in. Suggested that she may have fallen out of favor back home.

If that isn’t true, I’ll take your word for it.

Alaska has couple hundred thousand Indians. Murkowski went to all the Native Corps and made all kinds of promises of money & investment in villages if they got her to have their dem Indians vote for her. Many Indians did. In some villages, every single dem registered voter voted for Murkowski. Of course none of them could write, so one person filled out all the ballots; kinda standard practice. Murkowski won by 12K votes I think. She didn't win the primary cause the INdians voted for dem candidate at that vote.

Ya got to open your eyes to see what's going on up here (the truth). We have to have the most crooked politicals found anywhere, here in Ak. People liked Palin because she cleaned it all up, while she was in power; no joke.

You’re leaving out the fact that Miller, a heavy underdog, actually beat the incumbent Murkowski in the Republican primary. I think Palin was largely responsible for that. What happened after that was that Miller ran a horrible campaign and committed political suicide when he tried , for whatever reason to distance himself from Palin.
