GOP Gives Up On Tea Party Nominee Joe Miller In Alaska
Aww…Miller was so fun to watch implode.
ABC’s Jonathan Karl reports: A high-level GOP source tells me that party leaders have essentially given up on Republican Senate candidate Joe Miller and are now banking on a victory by write-in candidate Lisa Murkowski as the best bet for Republicans to keep the Alaska Senate seat.
Murkowski defied party leaders by running a write-in campaign after she lost the Republican primary last month. But with Miller’s campaign faltering, the source tells me that Republican leaders are now worried that Democrat Scott McAdams has a shot of winning and that Murkowski may be the only way to stop him.
It’s a remarkable turnaround for Murkowski. She was punished by party leaders last month — unceremoniously stripped of her post in the Senate leadership — when she refused to bow out of the Senate race and endorse Miller. But she has consistently said she is still a Republican and will caucus with the Republican party if she wins.
Miller has sunk to third place in all the polls. Where would you put GOP money? If the GOP were to throw money into a bad race how can the nation count on them to make the right choices when it matters?
You sucked me in wit that one. So ABC says Joe is history? Are you saying that you actually watch ABC, and worse, believe what they say? Oh my! You gotta trust me when I tell you that perdiction is just a leetle premature. Well, come see what the guys who know got to say on my leetle ol TeaParty site. It’s only the MOST Conservative Website known to man, or womankind for that matter. My current arkle, also spawned on October 31 will warm you cockles for sure! Woof!
Each party narrow down the to races they can most impact. There are many reporting this exit by the GOP from the Mille race in Alaska. I have been watching the polls and news from there for weeks and can see why the GOP made the call to leave the race. You still have a Republican, just not a tea bagger.
ABC fabricated the story as a favor to the Murkowski campaign. They, at least, were more subtle than the CBS clowns who were caught on tape plotting to run a story that Miller is friends with a convicted child molester and also plotting to stage a violent incident at one of his events “like Rand Paul”.
It’s like the James Cameron IMAX political Rodney King.
