The Republicans’ shaky president frontrunner, ex-Gov. Mitt Romney, has won the endorsement of a GOP senator who took on the Tea Party movement and won in her home state last year.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, became the most prominent West Coast politician to endorse Romney, who lives much of the time near San Diego at the other end of the coast.
“Mitt Romney has had the lifelong experience needed to turn around our economy,” Murkowski said.

KOD.
I’m shocked! /s
She was elected as an independent wasn’t she?
Stupid woman should have stayed out of the race !

No, stupid assklown that couldn’t beat her in the general after he won the primary should’ve run a better campaign. He had it in his hand and he blew it.
Yep.
Yes, we threw her entitled little princess a$$ out during the primary, so she ran independant and all the dems voted for her. She won by 1% as I recall.
Keep her out of the caucus and out of Republican politics.
Sadly, that would take Hillary-level testosterone, which our current Republican leadership sorely lacks.
As an Alaskan who did everything I could to get Joe Miller elected I can say you are underestimating our esteemed senator. She is loyal to her benefactors and in the end will throw her support behind obama. This woman and the Alaskan republican party was the final straw for me. I can’t abide with an R behind my name anymore.

This should be the "kiss of death" for Romney.
The R Party has been a huge disappointment for a long time.
We didn’t need more confirmation that Romney should not be the nominee, however, we just got it.
>> and Romney actually wanted people to know about this endorsement??
Myth will take whatever he can get.
Most people don’t pay too much attention to Alaska. Betcha 99.99% of the populus doesn’t know the Miller/Murkowski story.

Yeah, it’s apparent that this is one Party where drug use is pandemic.
I like your tag line, by the way.
All I needed to hear. If she’s fer, I’m agin.
