9:41pm: Murkowski will hold a press conference in twenty minutes. 9:40pm: Being generous, let’s say there are 7000 valid GOP votes left to be counted. Murkowski would need 61% of them to win. She’s done. From Swing State Project UPDATE: CNN’s Shannon Travis in Anchorage has confirmed that Sen. Lisa Murkowski will concede tonight. H/T [...]

1st! Traction Control calls the Alaska Senate Race a Victory for Joe Miller!
Category: Politics | Comments Off
How can I call this race with some 16,000 7,600 absentee ballots left to be counted? It’s simple: As far as I can tell, there are no Democrats involved in the counting process. We’ve had enough of “hanging chad” elections where “voter intent” was determined in closed rooms. Joe Wins! DaTechguy’s Blog has more about [...]

On Joe Miller’s Victory: Looks like Sarah Palin is more popular in Alaska than Slate’s Alexandra Gutierrez predicted yesterday
Category: Politics | Comments Off
Classical Values has the story. To be fair, it wasn’t entirely Sarah Palin’s endorsement that led to Joe Miller’s victory. It was coverage on the Mark Levin Show that convinced me to support Joe’s campaign. Last month I traveled to Alaska, met with Joe’s campaign officers in Anchorage and asked Joe’s Research Director ‘fact check’ [...]

Alaska’s Tea Party Senatorial Primary (from TownHall.com) Posted by : John Hanlon at 10:02 PM It seems odd to question how much of an effect the tea party will have in this Tuesday’s Alaskan Senatorial primary. Alaska’s own former Governor Sarah Palin is a well-known tea party supporter, and the former vice presidential candidate’s endorsements have certainly helped many Republican candidates [...]
