Excerpted from “Murkowski Wins Alaska Senate Race” By WILLIAM YARDLEY, The New York Times, Published: November 17, 2010
[SIZE="+2"]S[/SIZE]enator Lisa Murkowski won a historic victory on Wednesday in her long-shot run for re-election as a write-in candidate.
So you are saying, the Republican won. Interesting. :doh
.
“At this point we are comfortable calling this race. Lisa has won.” — Alaska Republican Party Chairman Randy Ruedrich
It's an extraordinary thing: tens of thousands of Alaskans bucked the political system and successfully spelled out M-U-R-K-O-W-S-K-I.
Is there are larger message here? I think so. And, the political establishment should pay attention. Alaskans and I think Americans in general are starting to think outside the (ballot) box.
Lisa Murkowski is hardly an anti-establishment, outside-the-box politician. …
come on guys...this is the state that elected Sarah Palin as governor, in case you have forgotten. :lamo
A sensible Republican won, instead of one who is bat**** insane. There is hope for the GOP. :mrgreen:
You guys do realize that 65+ percent of voters voted either for the Republican or the Republican, right?
This is really astonishing.

So the people of Alaska have made history again by voting in the second write in Candidate other than Strom Thurmgood(Sp, I know that I spelled his name wrong). Why does his name have to be one of the hard names to spell. But I am glad Miller lost, because obliviously the people of Alaska wanted a Moderate instead of a insane wannabee dictator.
That's why I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Murkowski get's her ass handed to her in the primary, but wins the general election as a write in? That just ain't addin' up.
Alaska is mostly made up of independents.
Whatever..........................
