Please Lord, just this one time... let one vote go our way...
What really ticks me off is these people get voted out, then find a way back!! like power hungry demons!!
If Murkowski had any integrity she would drop out and yield to Miller. She clearly has no respect for the primary voters and results because she did not like losing. She has no business being in this race and is behaving like a typical Democrat. Democrats are evil and characterized by greed and corruption. The Republican elite are on the same stage as the Democrats IMO.
Do we have any leadership in the Republican Party?
If Joe Miller was smart he would have recruited somebody with a similar sounding name to Lisa Murkowski and challenged every single write in. :-)
It's another election tactic.
Borne out of nepotism, clinging to her power, not respecting the political process when given the boot, running a nasty smear campaign against Joe M.........Lisa M. is an embarrassment.
Discounting for now the absentee ballots, and assuming that the Lt. Governor’s ruling holds that Mr. Miller can receive no write-in votes, Ms. Murkowski needs about 84% of the write-ins to win.
If the absentee ballots favor Mr. Miller more than the regular ballots did, and have fewer write-ins, percentage-wise, Ms. Murkowski will need more than 84% of the write-ins. If the absentees have a low level of write-ins, it may not be possible for Ms. Murkowski to win, or at least, it will become necessary to take nearly all the write-ins.
This isn’t over by a long shot.
You think members of the military will vote for a West Pont grad over Lisa. End sarcasm
I noticed that the tactic used by the MSM from election night to now has been to assume every write in vote was a vote for Murkowski. Going so far as to even superimpose Murkowski’s face over the on-screen “write-in” total.
It is absolutely impossible for her to have received 100% of the write-in vote. Her presumed vote total can only go down as the write-ins are opened.
From what I heard, there are over 100 write in candidates in the mix here. By my calculations she would have to maintain her lead with the absentees and garner 85% of the write-in total to win. My math may be fuzzy, but that’s what I’m thinking right now.
So roughly 100,000 ballots have not yet been analyzed, but she declares herself the winner anyway. Either the entire election has been bought and paid for, or Miss Lisa has the most flagrant sense of entitlement possible.
F the NRCC!
These A-holes are doing absolutely nothing to help Miller, THE ONLY “R” ON THE BALLOT”.
One thing RINOs aren't are our friends.
Since most of these ballots are members of the Military, odds are good that Miller will take a large majority of these.
It would be interesting to see some hard stats on these assertions that most are military. I’m sure a lot are and may likely go Miller’s way since he has ties to the military through his graduation from West Point. However I read an article yesterday about 4,000 boat captains being encouraged to vote absentee for Murkowski. I think it possible a lot of people out in the boonies would vote absentee just because of their location and maybe not likely to be influence by the media stuff thus maybe helping Miller. In any case this will be interesting to see how it develops over the next three weeks or so. Hopefully it won’t be another FL/MI event.
The only thing that is absolutely true at this moment is that only 1/3 of all ballots cast have been counted, and Miller has 69,000 more votes counted than Murkowski.
If she does pull this out and is allowed to caucus with the republicans or is given any level of leadership position in the party, the time for me to leave the party has arrived. Barely hangin on now, but this would do it until the leadership is replaced.
I doubt they care, since I donate directly to the candidate of my choice. (Don’t trust RNSC anymore than I trust unions)
