None of the 14 precincts in from Kodiak yet. Only 6 of the approximately 100 precincts are in from Dillingham, Bethel, Nome, & Kotzebue.

Seeing Miller win would really brighten my day. Murkowski’s the worst kind of RINO, the one who wins in a conservative state.

With 224 precincts in, Miller’s % now 51.87 & Murkowski is 48.1%. Looks like the last few precincts in were 2 in Juneau, 1 in Fairbanks, 1 in Wasilla, & 2 in Anchorage.

Here we are in the middle of one of the most exciting and unexpected possible upsets in the entire 2010 election season, and the radio station in the largest city in the state that was covering the election results just signed off! Welcome to Alaska! It never fails to amuse. They signed off here a couple of minutes ago (11 pm) with the advisement that there would be further updates tomorrow morning.

I’ll keep posting results for another hour at least. No charge and no request for donations, memberships, or ridiculous statements that you really need to pledge because there are no commercials.
