Sorry to hear this. At least we can’t accuse him of giving up too quickly! Bless his heart, he fought tooth and nail. I hope he runs again.
Some peoples' idea of being "conservative" is supporting those who supported you (i.e. those that brought back the pork to your state) and their family. Murkowski has brought back pork, and she is the daughter of a heroic porkmeister.
Some peoples' idea of being "conservative" is being practical, i.e. put the person in office who has the most clout which is the incumbent Murkowski.
Also, Alaska may have lots of independents, and independents are not identical with conservatives.
Somehow a large majority are in favor of getting money off oil extracted by others just because they happen to live in the same state. That might be a populist notion, but it isn't necessarily conservative.
I spent some time in Colorado. Lots of "independent" type folks there, not many of whom were true blue conservatives. How else do you explain Colorado being one of the first to legalize abortion? I imagine that Alaska has similar independent-minded folk who individually decided to vote for Murkowski.
Agreed, you left out the fact that she is stupid, having to take the bar exam five time before she could pass.
If I lived in Alaska, I would vote for the Rat in 2016 just to see this b***h lose. If she thinks the Rats will be crossing over to vote for her again she has another thing coming. She may change parties though.
He has gone this far. Now he should keep going and deal with the federal issues. The federal court can no longer chastise him for not going to the state courts. Lets find out if there is any rule of law left in the federal system. Even the first federal judge indicated that there were compelling issues raised in Miller’s lawsuit. So go for it Joe! You have nothing to lose at this point.
Let’s face it, in many parts of this country, it isn’t the one who will fight for your liberty that attracts people but the one who will BRING IN THE MONEY from the Federal Government to your state that is attractive ( AKA PORK ).
Murcowski is one of the best proponents of pork barrel spending for Alaska.
That’s one of the reasons why people like Barney Frank, Charles Rangel and Nancy Pelosi will ALWAYS WIN.
Of course they would.
Remember when the rule of law counted in America?
Since now voter “intent” is paramount, doesn’t that give Joe a lot of votes when people wrote in his name even though his name is on the ballot as a listed candidate? I thought I heard that these ballots would not be counted. What a complete travesty of justice if true.
Thanks freedomwarrior998. No thanks, voters for Murkowski.
1. His claims aren't baseless.
2. What if his money didn't run out?

It is not Moo...IT IS PORKKOWSKI, sooo, the ones in Alaska feeding at the federal trough want her.
There’s no curing a misguided electorate. Who woulda thunk Alaska could be this wrongheaded?
She should play openly with Democrats in their caucus.
In Nevada and Alaska extraordinary campaigns were waged to prevent Tea Party candidates from being elected to the United States Senate.
The RINO’s in DC had better not allow her into the Republican caucus.
She is part of a corrupt political machine and system like the one that RINO’s here in PA have given us.
Allowing Murkowski in as a Republican would send the message that business as usual politicians are welcome in the Republican caucus of the Senate.
This is unacceptable and I am watching where they stand including Senator-Elect Pat Toomey from my state.
I’ve spent my last tourist dollar in the state of Alaska.
...not if we impeach her, remove her from office and try her for treason.
The way things are going this may actually happen.
