We can all agree that Murkowski had her chance in the primary and lost fair and square. She should have gone home and not given the dems the chance to choose, yet again, our candidate.

No, I can't agree to that. She followed the laws of the State of Alaska and may have been elected by write-in.

What if the roles were reversed and Miller had won by a write-in? Would you be making the same argument?

The two parties do not own America and we need to stop acting like they do, even when it elects someone we don't like.

What you seem to be missing or deliberately ignoring is that she ran in a REPUBLICAN primary to determine who would be the REPUBLICAN candidate for senate.

She lost the primary fair and square. She lost because the majority of REPUBLICAN voters felt she was too liberal and tied to other interests, and the voters had a more conservative option who appealed to them more.

Yes, she played by the rules in the general election, but she CHEATED the primary system. She cannot be trusted, other than to act in her own self-interest.

Ever.

I would argue the same. If you lose in the primary, then your party didn't vote for you.

It's pretty simple. And it pretty obvious that she and Castle are poor sports. Now, Murkowski has let the dems pick the Republican Senator....since the Republicnas didn't pick her.

Then why didn't she pull a Crist and run as an Indy?

Why has she claimed she is a Republican all these years and run as a Republican for write-in?

Maybe your comments here should be directed to her.
