Murkowski Leads By Over 10,000 Votes

[asterism]

This is the only thing anyone needs to know of her...

MURKOWSKI: I will tell you, I am not one of those who wants Obama to fail. If he does well, that means the country’s doing well. We don’t have time as a nation to spend all of what we do blocking. We have got to figure out how we get to a point where we can be sitting around the table and talking about these difficult problems and advancing some solutions.

SOURCE

In other words? If Obama fails we fail. The people will see to it that Obama fails...and the Country begins to heal. This woman is a RINO. She didn't get the message when she was defeated in the primary. She still doesn't get it.

'Nuff said.

What is wrong with what she said. What SOLUTIONS have the republicans come up with in the last couple of years? She is promoting working together--what's the problem?

Obama succeeded in passing the pork-barrel union bailout stimulus and we're worse off. Had he failed, we would be in the same situation but less debt.

 

[judyd]

Obama's 'Solutions' are making things worse. Republicans tried to work with the Statists...and were run over...the Solution is to make the Statists DEFEND the policies that brought us here...and why their policies tripled the debt in two years.

Sorry...she's wrong. Obama's policies must fail...the Statist Democrats must fail if this Nation is to survive instead of becoming like every other Socialist failure in the world.

No they didn't try to work with Democrats. And Republicans offered nothing for the past two years. I think reasonable people on both sides are getting really sick of elected officials who go to DC and just stonewall everything without working together on solutions for the PEOPLE!! Frankly, I don't care who comes up with good ideas which will help the PEOPLE (not their pet corporations)--I'm not that partisan. I am sick of people like mitch mcconnell who declares that the sole purpose will be to make Obama a one term president. So what??? Everything has to be on hold for another two years just to make Obama look bad? What an asshole.

Dooming future generations to debt they can't afford is a "solution for the people?"

Have you forgotten that bush got the country into serious debt with his sham iraq war??? He was such an asshole to make demands like the cost of the war shouldn't be included in the budget and tossed out the surplus from the previous administration for "tax rebates". The country was seriously in debt before Obama got into office. You do remember, of course, that it was BUSH who insisted on bailing out the banks which was done before Obama was even elected?

It could just be that Obama's "solutions" don't solve any problems. So far, he's not working out too well.

Murkowski Is An Idiot

That's "Senator Idiot" to you asshole.

Miller can go back to doing whatever the hell it is he did before Palin tricked him into thinking that she was a Kingmaker.

Lawyer, Bronze Star winning veteran. I suspect he'll be fine. One doesn't need to be "tricked" to make a run and accept endorsements. No big deal if he wasn't your guy, no dignity is lost in running.

Only in not running.

 

[asterism]

The 10,000+ figure is fraudulent.

It only goes that high if you COUNT all the ballots that have a spelling of the name "Murkowski" which are misspelled or illegible.

It's like reading voter intent by whether a Florida chad is dimpled or not.....

If you count only the ballots where her name is both legible and spelled correctly, the vote difference is probably down to fewer than a couple of thousand.

And THEN the recount will be key. For HERS, you see, were necessarily "hand counted." But Miller's were machine counted. And there's also a gaping question about whether the absentee / military ballots got sent out ON TIME or not.

Before this is all over, expect at least one Court challenge and possibly (maybe?) even an appeal.

But the main point to remember for now is that the 10,000 vote margin of alleged victory is itself a fictional number.

I think the main point the liberals and progressives need to remember is that no matter who loses this part, they both beat the Democrat.

Your concerns about debt would be valid if you weren't deriding Bush for only expanding it at 1/3 the rate of Obama, who ran and won by criticizing Bush's overspending. I'm aware of, and criticized, Bush's bailout mess. It sucked big time. However, Senator and then President-Elect Obama endorsed it.

Yeah, they had to walk back the notion that a third party, Tea Party candidate would guarantee Democrats victory.

Now they have to cheer against the Democrat.

Fraudulent? where did you learn to read, Lardbelly?

Even subtracting all the votes counted for Murkowski but challenged by the Miller campaign, Murkowski would still be ahead by 2,247 votes.

that was explicitly stated in the link in the OP.

I cannot help the fact that you are severely retarded, carbuncle.

If we discount the bullshit "Moocowsky" alleged "votes," and ascertain, in that way, the true vote difference, it will likely be around 2,000 (probably fewer). I listened to Miller, himself, and he has a record for being far more honest than the scumbag dishonest news media who trip over themselves to root for ANYBODY who isn't "Tea Party" endorsed.

Furthermore, carbuncle, you moron, you are unable to grasp the significance of HOW the votes were allegedly "counted." Or maybe you can and you are just too deeply dishonest to admit that it matters.

In the end, it is perhaps the odds-on bet that Murkowsi will "take" the win.

But it is not such a completely foregone conclusion as to make the careful scrutiny a pointless endeavor. Despite your highly partisan wishes, the rigorous challenge is a good idea; a very very good idea.

And if, by some stroke of luck, Murkowski ends up losing, well that would be even better!

I'm glad you posted that. If you want to know whey she got elected and why Mr. Miller is sucking his thumb wasting tax payer money on an impossible fight right now look no further than that quote. Naturally, with Tommy T being a total tard he somehow thinks this quote should reflect negatively on Murkowski.

It is an irrefutable fact that Murkowski leads by about 10,000 votes. The votes were counted FOR HER. That any of them have been challenged does not change the FACT that currently those are her votes.

In the event that some of the challenges are upheld, AT THAT POINT IN TIME she will no longer lead by 10,000 votes; she will lead by less than 10,000 votes.

But since we are not AT THAT POINT IN TIME yet, it is irrefutably factual to say that she leads by 10,000 votes.

Not fraudulent. Even a comically deranged confused fat balding old closet queen like you should be able to grasp that.

and soreloser Miller wants hand recount.

now why haven't the rightwingnuts been posing thread after thread about this?

Sen. Lisa Murkowski enjoys an apparently insurmountable 10,400-vote lead over Joe Miller after the weeklong review of write-in ballots. But the Miller campaign isn't giving up and says Alaska's computerized voting system is "suspect."

The Miller campaign wants the Division of Elections to recount the entire Senate race by hand, spokesman Randy DeSoto said Tuesday night.

didn't the right tell us the Diebold machines were just hunky dory and peachy keen when Bush took Ohio in 2004? All of a sudden voting machines aren't reliable???

You know what is embarassing? Being beaten by a write in candidate. You know what is really embarassing? Being beaten by a write in candidate with a name that isn't easy to spell.

You know what's really really embarrassing? Not realizing that an illiterate person could have voted for Murkowski since her name was given out at the polls.

You are wrong, carbuncle. It is certainly "refutable" if the Election Law says you cannot count illegible votes or votes where the write-in candidate's name is spelled incorrectly.

Anyway, your fear of being found out as the gayest of the gay uber-libs here at USMB notwithstanding, asswipe, the FACT is that if the illegible "votes" get dumped and the ones where "Moocowsky's" nominal voters get their improper votes tossed out, the 10K vote difference will pretty much get wiped out.

And THEN, you queer-bait drama queen (emphasis on queen), if the remaining votes get properly counted,* it is still within the realm of possibility that Mookcowsky can get defeated.

Get one of your intelligent friends (i.e., ask a conservative) to assist you on this one. Obviously, carbuncle, this all flies over your pinhead, ya poor retarded liberoidal douche bag.

Yay..the far right bat shit crazy Conservative is beating out the ultra right wing, plays with his own poop, militant bat shit crazy Conservative.

We can rest easy now.

you know, not every person on the right is evil.

murkowski happened to be a very good senator. she brought a ton of cash to her state. any intelligent person would have looked at that in casting their vote. as tip o'neill said, "all politics is local".

and now she isn't beholden to the repubs b/c they abandoned her for the teaparty loon.

should make for an interesting senate term.

What a sad, cynical, and incorrect view on politics.

Murkowski never was "beholden" to the Republicans, and she certainly isn't now. As for her hypocrisy on pork-barrel spending, well that's what the primary was all about. Win or lose, the Alaska GOP voters took a stance and said that it was time to move away from the model that the one who "brings home the bacon" ought to be in Washington. Obviously the general voting public disagreed, and that's why we have elections.

The interesting part is how she's going to react to the message she was clearly sent. She has maintained the whole time that she is a Republican.

How did the liberal running as a fiscal conservative Democrat fare? That's what the Progressives should acknowledge.

not really. and "alaska voters" did no such thing... because "alaska voters, voted Murkowski back in".... thus deciding the tea party loon backed by palin was unacceptable.

i'm not quite sure how that escapes your notice.
