Alaska GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski still weighing reelection decision

Sen. Lisa Murkowski is still weighing whether to run for a fourth full term, and she demurred Tuesday on a timeline for her decision. The Alaska Republican told reporters at the Capitol that she will make her final decision “when I make it.”

“I have been doing everything that a good incumbent does in terms of preserving my options, visiting with Alaskans, spending a lot of time, as much time on the ground as I can, and raising money,” Murkowski said.

Former President Donald Trump, who won Alaska by 10 percentage points in November, has vowed to campaign against Murkowski. The senator has frequently criticized the former president and voted to convict Trump after his impeachment for inciting an insurrection on Jan. 6.

Late last month, Murkowski drew her first GOP challenger, Kelly Tshibaka, the head of Alaska’s Department of Administration. Tshibaka has been working with some members of Trump’s former campaign team, Politico reported.

“She’ll jump to Dem”

Thereby validating everything Trump has been saying and making her just another turncoat who will not be trusted by either Dems or Rep.

Incumbents almost always win...but then incumbents almost never have Trump breathing down their necks.

Make your case, bitch, and see how it sells.

If she doesn’t run again she has a bright future as a CNN analyst as an “enlightened” Republican who they can put on a panel and she will attack Republicans just as much as the Dem members of the panel and they can claim the panel is “balanced.”

Last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it.

If she's uncertain about running, she must have inside information that her chances are low low low.

“I have been doing everything that a good incumbent does in terms of preserving my options, visiting with Alaskans, spending a lot of time, as much time on the ground as I can, and raising money,” Murkowski said.

When a four term senator has that response, she knows the jig is up {it's a fishing term, and it is not racist, can't be too careful with the mod sensitivity}.

In this new day of sharp political contrast, there is no place for a moderate who caves to the left when it really matters.

Bad votes, or even fraudulent votes against a popular incumbent of your own party for all the wrong reasons doesn't preserve your options. You have one option - never again winning an election for senator.

I’ve watched her for 20 years, never voted for her either. I believe she’ll jump to the dems before not running. Half the dems vote for her now and all the Indians. Only good thing about Lisa is her stand against gun control.
