I bet many of those will never vote Republican again if they feel disenfranchised by Murkowski.
Many Pubbies felt Lisa has done a terrible job - that is why Miller did so well.
That and there was an abortion related question on the ballot that helped to pull a lot of ‘conservatives’ out to vote. BTW - the parental consent iniative passed
THe local rag (ADN) here said
“Murkowski’s pro-choice stance is a particularly sore point, one that Miller supporters hammered her on.
Tuesday’s primary election also included Ballot Measure 2, which would require parents to be notified before their teens age 17 and younger received an abortion. Miller said he thinks that brought out voters who supported him over Murkowski, even though she supported the ballot measure as well.
“The Prop. 2 supporters were our supporters, largely. ... Frankly I think the pro-life vote was important,” Miller said on Tuesday night.”
Elections are complex things, other factors, such as these iniatives, can make a huge diofference...
