Miller Holds Narrow Lead; Parnell Leads Field

Joe Miller held a razor-thin lead over incumbent Senator Lisa Murkowski in the Republican primary late Tuesday evening.
Miller led the incumbent 51.47 pct (40,841) to 48.53 pct (38,507) with just more than 61.2 pct of the precincts counted.
A Miller victory would mirror other anti-incumbent wins around the country. The Murkowski-Miller race jumped into the national spotlight when Miller was endorsed by former Governor Sarah Palin.

Still more absentee ballots to count than the difference between the two candidates, but Murkowski would need to hve the vast bulk of them to win, it would seem.
