The reality is that Miller should have won easily. He had the official backing of the GOP (I agree is was lukewarm support at best) and the supposed Palin machine. It wasn’t even close at the end of the day. As much as I love Sarah, this tells me alot about her potential as the lead person on a Presidential ticket. If she couldn’t help Miller win Alaska, she has no hope to win America. I hope she stays as a pundit for the next two years, then runs in 2014 for the nomination to go up against the Dem who stole the election from Ted Stevens in 2008.
I could back your plan, if Sarah would settle down and get serious about being informed on foreign policy and other issues on which she is deficient. She knows how to appeal to crowds and how to campaign, but needs to show more interest in actually governing. It is not clear how truly conservative she is. I am not aware of whether Palin weighed in on the repeal of DADT and the New START Treaty, as well as the DREAM Act... all issues on which Murkowski has proved to be anti-American.
Miller ran away from the Palins! Just before the election there was a big kerfuffle that had Todd sending him an email asking him what the heck was going on. Isn’t it interesting that the candidates in Alaska and Cailfornia never wanted to appear on the same stage as Sarah Palin (they lost). All the rest who wanted her with them WON.
I know. I think Miller deserved to Win. But sh** happens even in Republican party..... once declared a loser, seldom does the court rule against the winner. No kicking Mur-cow-ski off for 6 more years... damn shame.
And since when did Sarah have a machine? From what I can see from down here it was Daddy's Girl who had the machine along with the press.
