I think that murkowski knows she is done, if the vote is fair. So she ether has nothing to lose, or she knows the fix is in. As for romney, well he is just a rino ass. Same as it ever was.
Not necessarily - based on the polling she’s switching strategies to go after the Democrat votes in Alaska - it is a jungle primary with the general election having RCV.
She’ll be worse than ever if she wins this time as she owes zero allegiance at all to the Republican Party voters...there is no longer a party primary for her to have to worry about base voters in Alaska to even throw them a dog biscuit occasionally to try to get even nominal support.
Those polls showing Kelly Tshibaka with the large lead were encouraging, but she must be pushed to get to 50% for the general election as the first choice to avoid the RCV being a factor - the 45% number may not cut it as few if any of the other voters would pick her as the second choice, whereas the Democrat voters would probably all just about select Murkowski as their second choice. With the RCV nonsense, Murkowski could be 20 points or more behind on the first choice and then still end up winning comfortably.
