I dunno. If Murkowski concedes after the results today, I don’t think we can really criticize her for her post-election conduct.
We’re the ones who are equating RINOs with Democrats.
We’re the ones who have been thinking that Murk has been trying to steal the election, when there has been not all that much evidence of that. Some, yes, and Miller is right to keep on top of it, but not much.
Yes, it is right for us to prefer a good libertarian conservative over a RINO, but it doesn’t mean that Murkowski was really all that wrong to wait a week to see the results of the absentees.
What we’ve seen today points more strongly to a Murkowski loss. She might be watching these results just like us and finding out that she’s lost just like we are.
Republican unity, especially with a Miller win, is the way to go. Attacking Murk at this point - unless she really does try to steal the election - is counter productive.
Update, 3:20 p.m.:
Partial vote in from Southeast and the Kenai Peninsula, with Murkowki picking up 2 votes on Miller.
Miller leads by 1,292 votes. But that’s with only about 1,300 votes coming in from Southeast and the Kenai so far, out of over 5,000 supposed to be counted today.
Nearly half of the tally in from southeast and the Kenai was for the Democratic primary, so there were only about 700 votes affecting the Miller-Murkowski race in the Republican primary.
The ballots just counted from Juneau and Kenai were questioned ballots. We’re still waiting for the absentees from those areas.
Also waiting on first results of questioned and absentee ballots from Fairbanks.
So far, about 9,000 additional ballots have been counted today.
Well said...
IT'S MILLER TIME!!!
