In the statement, Murkowski said she would not run as a Libertarian candidate, which means that if she does run it will be as a write-in candidate. In explaining her decision, Murkowski had some harsh words for the Tea Party Express, which backed Miller.
"...After meeting with the Libertarian candidate last week and considering that option, I cannot in good conscience seek the Libertarian nomination," she said. "As disappointed as I am in the outcome of the Primary and my belief that the Alaska Republican Party was hijacked by the Tea Party Express, an outside extremist group, I am not going to quit my party. I will not wrap myself in the flag of another political party for the sake of election at any cost."

After Karl Rove's performance and the declarations of the NRSC, combined with Murkowski's pronouncements, it is clear.
“Since they consider themselves nobility, it is then their duty to become a permanent pain in the ass. Thats what she is doing now. She is no longer a Republican, Alaskan, or arguably even American. She is the fading center of her own shrinking universe, at odds with all outside it. Politicians can be some really sad sacks of shit.”
So accurate. Anybody notice that the Rino’s are as much a vanguard for the Democratic Party as the media itself?
Lisa who?
Great picture ... Right on ... Catches the message almost all members of Congress deserve ... overtly shows Benedict Arnold’s reason for changing sides ... Congress hated Arnold for the same reasons Congress critters hate Sarah Palin.
Seems to me all these losers running as Independents and write ins are the ones splitting the Party because they have no interest in what the voters have to say, yet it’s always the Tea Party “extremists” who get the blame.
Lisa needs to go fly a kite in a lightening storm.
If a politician is unwilling to pledge their life, fortune and sacred honor to uphold the principals of the Declaration of Independence, they can rot in hell. Enjoy the heat Lisa.
Yes. In 1976, the pundits said Reagan couldn't win. It was actually good that he didn't, as Jimmy Carter was the one and only President who did not name a single Supreme Court justice. In 1980, the same, and it was a close race vs. George H.W. Bush. His opponents threw everything Reagan, including that he had been an FDR Democrat, was Hollywood, divorced, and not too bright.
In truth, he left the Democrats while dealing with the Communists in Hollywood. Demonrats hate and vilify those that leave their embrace, much like vampires and Muslims. A President has to be bright enough to ask for advice from the best, and tempering that advice with what is politically possible. By that standard, Reagan was brilliant in 1981-1982, and not so bright in 1986, when he signed the biggest tax increase in history (until 1993) sent to him by Bob Dole, Senate Majority leader and self-proclaimed "tax collector for the welfare state", and the Demons re-took the Senate in the 1986 elections after Dole had been Majority Leader less than two years.
Oh, and in 1980, with less than one week to go, all the press said the election was "too close to call", which was closer to the truth than "Castle leads by 30".
Doncha just despise SORE LOSERS!?
She may get 2% of the vote. RINOs are such butts.
Don’t go away mad, Murky. Just go away.
It’s turning out that RINOs are even worse sore losers than Democrats — so at least that’s one difference between ‘em.
Lisa Murkowski is an idiot. The ONLY reason that fool is even in the Senate is because of her daddy..Good riddance Lisa
She's daddy's daughter after all.
Excellent representation.
FULM RINO Quisling B****!!
Members of my family call me an extremist simply because I am not a democRAT.
LMFAO!!!!! Very Good!!!! LOL!
I only see RINOS running against Conservatives when Conservatives win Primaries.
Remember Skozoforza or whatever her name was - coming out for the Dem after losing?
Repub leadership better wake up, or we will have 3 parties.
