I hope so. That said (forgive the negativism) I am outright horrified at the number of blitheringly stupid Alaskans who voted for that sore loser Murkowski. If their ideological positions were reversed I would still say that...losing the primary fair and square means your race is over, unless you’re an absolute tool.

To: Mr. Silverback

She did an excellent job arguing her two main points: First that the primary was “stolen” by an outside group with lots of money who didn’t understand Alaska, and second that Miller’s positions on pork spending would cost Alaska billions of dollars in aid that a majority of the citizens benefit from, and so they should vote for her to protect their “livelyhoods”.

We see that 2nd argument in the federal contractor telling his workers to vote Murkowski to make sure they still have jobs.

Toss in the attacks on Miller which served to dampen enthusiasm with his base (like how he used all these federal subsidies he was fighting to end), the attacks which made him look less desirable (arresting the reporter, the “scandal” about his previous employment), and you have a recipe for victory for Murkowski.

Miller had answers to the attacks, but from here didn’t seem to do a good job of actually getting his side out.
