Congrats, Sen. Murkowski

[Madeline]

Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski on Wednesday became the first Senate candidate in more than 50 years to win a write-in campaign, emerging victorious over her Tea Party rival following a painstaking, weeklong count of handwritten votes.

The victory completes a remarkable comeback for the Republican after her humiliating loss in the GOP primary to Joe Miller.

Her victory became clear when Alaska election officials confirmed they had only about 700 votes left to count, putting Murkowski in safe territory to win re-election. Murkowski is flying back from Washington to Alaska to make an "exciting announcement'' to supporters Wednesday, proclaiming in an e-mail that the campaign "made history.''

Boy, they really, really do not like the Tea Party up there in Alaska. Wonder when the rest of the US will catch on?

Congrats, Senator.

Who declared her the winner?

Mathematics.

I mean, was she certified? Has Miller conceded?

Alaska got fucked!

Joe Miller was a great candidate and I guarantee you there was some shinnanigans going on whil e counting the votes.

Just my opinion, but she is a ****!


Hmmm.... did I get that spelling correct? C-U-N-T


Ok, guess I did

I think they would have counted that spelling for her as a write-in, yes.

 

[hortysir]

I'm shocked that many people spelled her name right

 

[Big Black Dog]

This proves my point about politicians. They will say and do anything to remain in power. She was not selected by the Republicans when they had their primaries so she pitched a hissy fit and ran a write in campaign.

I hope he plays the libs game back at them.... recount!!!!!!



Anyone remember how many times Franken cried for a recount... and they kept "finding ballots".

The way they moved the recount up, and then moved it to Juno..... I think it smells like Murkowski's puss (fishy)

Well, yes, did she throw up her hands and quit after being beaten in the primary?

Nope... and she should have.

well she did win. and thats that, BUT your point is well taken; shes the atypical grasping connected know nothing whose only life is politics...god help them and us...anyone dem rep. who fits this bill is someone we don't need. Did I mention she is a lawyer? God we need more of them? How about a business person? oh wait....

Seriously, I mean, fuck democracy. How dare a plurality of Alaskans express their will by writing her name in and not caving into voting for the two choices presented to them by our two party system.

 

[Oddball]

Yes, congratulations, Lisa...On demonstrating to one and all what avaricious power lust looks like.

You're in the great company of other power-lusting ruling class mega-douchebags, like Joe Lieberman and Arlen Specter.

I'd be good with that, if Murkowski had decided that her party's banner weren't good enough and she struck out on her own as an indy from the get-go.

But she didn't go that route and then lost the primary, when the ruling class attitude of entitlement kicked in.

 

[hortysir]

Sounds remarkably like a douche bag I know of here in Florida

Franken??? It was coleman who was whining about the count. He was the one who held it up.
