” “Murkowski was a handshaking machine. Behind her, campaign workers gave out candy to little kids holding yellow bags sponsored by BP that read, “Alaskans for Litter Prevention and Recycling. Keeping Alaska Beautiful.” The aides shook their heads in exasperation as Murkowski kept falling behind to chat with voters.

“I hope you beat Miller!” shouted Mary Demientieff, 60, as she shook the senator’s hand. “Thank you, I’m working hard,” Murkowski replied.

“But I’m a Democrat,” Demientieff said as Murkowski marched on toward the rubber-duck float, which had overheated and broken down.

Demientieff explained that she appreciated Murkowski’s moderate Republican politics.

“She wouldn’t want to hear that, but I respect her for that,” she said. “She’s different. I like her more than her father.”

On the bridge, they bumped into Hollis French, a Democratic candidate for governor, and his wife. The two couples talked warmly about family and the time Murkowski’s duck, to her mortification, came in first and she had to donate the prize to charity. As Murkowski hung over the bridge to see duck No. 4,139 cross the finish line, French mocked current Republican governor and Palin loyalist Sean Parnell for refusing to back Murkowski in the primary.

“She’s going to be around for a long time,” he said of Murkowski. “The state likes her and she’s in a position of power.”

Down the road, Murkowski bumped into Ethan Berkowitz, another Democratic candidate for governor and a friend from Murkowski’s days in the state legislature. They joked about his graying hair and gushed about a former Murkowski intern who had gone to work for him.

According to Berkowitz, who commissioned the poll that showed Murkowski 32 points ahead of Miller, the departure of Stevens from the political scene meant “a recalibration of what politics we need and practice,” and that while power had been dispersed, Murkowski was “at the top of the list of the people who assume that mantle.” “

My Comments: Why does a far left extremist JournoLister Leftwingnut Jason Horrorwitz who also is a current WaPo left wing Obamabot go to Alaska? Lisa Murkowski has NOTHING to do with it. It has everything to do with the fact that the Left and the White House are apoplectic that Palin will add Murkowski to the list of extinct RINOs, as she prepares to dispatch Obama in 2012?

I had to put only the relevant portions in the post, because the entire article is a a stiflingly boring puff piece about LISA.

Several points in the article:

Number One: Horowitz observes that the Murkowskis are the first family of Alaska politics but for some strange reason she is running as Lisa (without the last name). Maybe Lisa is not as confident of their “first family status” as Horowitz, the left wing East Coast expert in Alaska GOP primary politics.

Second Point: Notice how chummy Lisa Murkowski is with the execrable Dem and Palin hater Hollis French who criticizes GOP governor Sean Parnell for not endorsing Murkowski over Miller and endorses her himself in the GOP primary!

Third Point: The push poll that showed Murkowski 32 points head of Joe Miller was commissioned by Ethan Berkowitz, another Democratic candidate for governor and a friend from Murkowski’s days in the state legislature. This is the same Ethan Berkowitz who ran for Lieutenant Governor on Tony Knowles’ ticket against Palin in 2006. Berkowitz endorses her as well and it notes that he has just hired one of her staffers.

Conclusions: The conclusions to be drawn from this article are twofold:

1)Murkowski is a Dem, and a thinly veiled one at that. She remains part of the same rotten Establishment that Palin took an ax to. This article should be spread to all Alaska freepers and conservatives, as well as to Palinsitas nationwide. She should be outed.

2) The MSM and the leftists in the White House are trying to make this primary a referendum on Palin. Every Palin supporter who can get to Alaska to help Miller, or help him in any other way, should do so.
