From Sean Cockerham at the Alaska Division of Elections office in Anchorage --
Update, 11:10 a.m.: Joe Miller's lead over Lisa Murkowski narrowed from 1,668 votes to 1,325 with the first count of absentee ballots this morning.
It looks like 2,391 votes were counted in this first batch. They're from Districts 17 through 26, all Anchorage.
More numbers to come.

Welcome to the Senate Mr. Miller.
My recommendation to you is to look to DeMint for guidance in that chamber. Don’t forget who put you there. And never ever allow yourself to feel comfortable in that swamp.
YOWSA!! How exciting is this? Congrats to all in the Tea Party movement who, against all odds, against every pollster have handed us and our new Senator from Alaska Joe Miller this terrific victory!
What’s the next battle? And then on to Nov. and seeing Reid ousted, etc., etc., etc.!
Wow - what a night!
He won the primary he has still got to win Nov. 2nd...Oh I know he will....
Ahhh! Been holding my breath all night waiting for this! Yipee!
“Or one RINO at a time. Im ready for Cornyn to join the ranks of primary losers. He backtracked today on his end the birthright citizenship stance. He started out okay but has become a squish just like KBH. Im sure it kills him to see Miller win. Get used to it pal, there are some new sheriffs in town.”
DeMint’s stock is rising by the day! I have to say, we are seeing a Conservative realignment in our time. Now’s the time to hold people to their principles. That’s what it’s ALL about.
What’s the next battle? Onto November?
Let's see if she endorses Miller when asked by the press.
The vote are still going to be counted and she could still “Concede”. The election observers need to be on there toes still. There is just a small chance that this could be a strategy by Lisa’s team to cause certain election observers to be inattentive while tampering goes on. I know it sounds way out there, but we are dealing with people who can be very creative at cheating.
Agreed - A bit of additional good news on that front:
The latest count posted just a few minutes ago resulted in another increase in Joe’s lead to 1,630.
Yes it is very similar. Castle is a worse RINO than Murkowski. Murkowski hasn’t been acting like Snowe and Collins. Castle very possibly would.
If Castle wins the primary he’s likely to win the general.
Do we want years of people saying “what is wrong with the people of Delaware?” like they do about Maine?
THANK YOU LISA FOR NOT DRAGGING THIS OUT!
GOD BLESS!
How sweet it is! Out with the RINO’s, in with the youngbloods!
And O'Donnell is no Mike Lee or Joe Miller.
Well said...
IT'S MILLER TIME!!!
“My recommendation to you is to look to DeMint for guidance in that chamber.”
I put Jeff Sessions and Inhofe into the DeMint category too. Sessions fought tooth and nail against Sotomayor and Kagan. You can throw Coburn in there too since he came out and lambasted Gingrich.
I’m generally pragmatic in circumstances like these. However, Castle is so dismal, I’d view his election as a loss. If Christine is our candidate, we have a shot at winning. If Castle is elected, we lose either way.
votes counted today:
Miller 5961
Murk 5999
