Joe is an Alaskan by choice. He grew up in a working class family in Kansas, but headed to the Last Frontier sixteen years ago because of his love of the outdoors. Alaska, as an added bonus, has also provided him the opportunity of being able to pursue his passion for the law and public service.

That’s an impressive bio. West Point, Yale Law, Bronze Star in Gulf War I, etc. etc. etc. Go Joe!
Lisa........feel the burn baby!!!! The Cuda strikes by proxy!!!!!
I am very surprised and optimistic about his sudden turn of events. This is a game changer and if Alaska has a late primary, Joe Miller could stand a very good chance of upsetting little Lisa.
Palin's endorsement does carry alot of weight, for good for for ill (witness Perry and Rand Paul's successes). And even moreso in her home state.
I had just about given up hope on Murkowski even having ANY kind of primary challenge a month or two ago, since I had been loudly protesting her borderline RINO record and it seemed to fall on deaf ears with even nationally known conservative pundits (what happened to the freepers always yapping about how "we must concetrate on defeating RINOs in RED STATES first... blah blah blah") Some freepers even seemed quite HAPPY with Frank Murkowski's little RINO princess in office (I have no idea why), and most people who chimed in said Palin weighing in against Murkowski was impossible since she and Murkowski had "made peace" a while back and were now allied. Puke.
Well, whatever the case, apparently after they "made peace", little Lisa turned around and stabbed Sarah in the back after she resigned (dontsa just love RINOs), so all bets were off at that point. Good.
John McCain might be the most high profile backstabber we have in the Senate now, and a bunch of freepers can't stand him, but the record shows that Lisa Murkowski has the least conservative record of any sitting GOP senator up for re-election in 2010. Her latest "conservative" ratings were something like 60%. Terrible for someone representing a state where Republicans win by huge margins. Replacing Murkowski with a decent conservative would be the biggest ideological shift in a Senate seat this election cycle, aside from straight liberal D to conservative R party takeovers.
When is the AK primary coming up? It's time for conservatives nationwide to put this one on the radar. This seat is MADE to elect a decent conservative.
Now if we can just get freepers to stop pressing their lips to John Thune's behind after he betrayed us on Bolton and wants to be all "bipartisan" and ride the federal gravy train whenever possible...

How any conservative can support this woman in the primary (ESPECIALLY in light of how she got a plush Senate career in the first place) is beyond me.
I would prefer that *Sarah* Palin endorse Miller as well.
Yeah!
I do too, it would be test of her political power in Alaska without the risk of losing anything.
Yeah I don’t get it, having her husband do it is a backdoor way of handing things (presuming he isn’t merely acting on his own).
Hopefully this is just a prelude to an endorsement by Sarah as well.
Primary is August 10.
I think Murkowski burned her bridges with Palin after Palin resigned the office, and this is the result.
My guess is Sarah Palin is staying in the shadows now because an endorsement at this time would be old news by August, so she's waiting until people are paying attention to do an official public appearance on behalf of Miller (more excitement that way). Time will tell.
Interesting coincidence that Murkowski's 2004 and 2010 primary rivals are both named "Miller" (Joe and Mike).
Murkowski burned her bridges with Palin after Palin rand against her father and crushed him.
ran*
Agreed. Plus, deploying Todd like this is like the test-firing of a missile. The First Dude will need a modicum of political experience, this is one way to get more of it.
Frank Murkowski met with Palin and told her how hard it would be to go to DC as AK Senator with young children, then gave the position to his daughter. Nobody should be more shamed by Going Rogue than the Murkowskis.
((((( (Todd)Palin Ping)))))
Todd Palin endorses Joe Miller challenger to Lisa Murkowski (R-AK).
Palin’s assault on the corrupt tendrils of the old-school Alaska GOP continues.
Ping to the List!
Thank you, Clyde, for calling the thread to my attention.
If anyone would like to join the TODD PALIN IS A HUNK! ping list, please let me know. I’m kinda busy today so I can’t add you until this evening. Also, we have rules! Please get those pictures posted.
This race is going to be fun to watch.
Hell, is for some strange reason Sarah decides to not run, I want Todd to run instead! :)
