The Unlikely Write-In Victory of Sen. Murkowski (voters, campaign, Republican)

[odanny]

If Joe Miller had an ounce of class, just ONE OUNCE, he likely would be sitting in Washington D.C. right now.

But instead of simply saying "Good Luck" or "Thanks" when he won the primary he made Lisa Murkowski the first write in winner in 50 years.

What utter BS. The Director of the Division of Elections, Gail Fenumiai, among others, fixed the election for Murkowski from the beginning by stuffing ballots, bribing poll-workers, not to mention changing the damn law AFTER the election.

As long as she remains Director, state elections will remain a farce in Alaska.

Yes BS indeed. She was NEVER going to concede she lost the nomination for HER seat. The whole "if Joe had been nice" statement is nothing more than a poke in his eye.

Boy, what slanderous lies you are spewing there. Stuffing ballots & bribing poll workers indeed.

This is why things never change. Murkwski represents the establishment and the status quo. Even if her write-in victory was unlikely. Electing a politician ike her is the most likely thing in the world..it happens over and over again each election cycle.

You must have been a big Miller fan. Sore losers all around.

Get real, and be grateful for the percentage of rational voters in Alaska.

Something doesn't make sense in that election.

I would not doubt there was some corruption in the mix.

What election doesn't have its fair share of corruption?

Looking at it from outside it might not make sense. But to those of us who live in Alaska and went through the whole process it was the only outcome that did made sense.

I'm proud of my fellow Alaskans for coming together to accomplish what some said was impossible: a write-in campaign to oust Joe Miller. To credit it to corruption is a blow to Alaskans.

Basically what outside saw was that her familes power within the state bascally beat off a unknown. Still not a good sign for her future in national political power or within the republican party itself.
