See post #86: “murkowski picked up the dim votes as they knew the dim could not win... so liberal dims and rinoid republican machine hacks that were aligned with the 40 year old murkowski political cabal... that so hated miller because Palin put him on top of murkowski the incumbent... next lawsuits were filed by murkowski and a recount ensued and more hanging chad lawsuits took place and she squeaked by on a bogus recount and corrupt vote counting.
LLS.”
Again, Murkowski never conceded defeat in the general election. She won and this was pretty clear from the minute the returns came in. Moocow beat Miller by over 10,000 votes, so no, it wasn't really all that close. Even if every single ballot the Miller campaign challenged was thrown out, he still would have lost.
