SARAH PALIN PING LIST "ping" AND INTERESTED OTHERS Sources in Alaska have informed Big Government that the trend in the count of absentee ballots makes it virtually impossible that Sen. Murkowski will overtake Joe Miller in the GOP Senate Primary. A trusted and well-placed operative told BG:

It’s over.

Sources have also revealed that the Murkowski campaign is scheduling a conference call this afternoon (Alaska time) with her entire campaign team to discuss next steps. There is additional information we hope to be able to publicize soon. Stay tuned for updates.

Let’s hope none of the other small parties are dumb enough to put her on the ballot, or that she has the slightest bit of class left and lets it go.

Fingers crossed!

“next steps” doesn’t sound like a concession to me but I hope she does concede. The ‘ruling class’ won’t let go easily.

Super! Thanks for the info, onyx!

It's ridiculous. If she loses, she loses. If she didn't want to be the Republican nominee then why did she participate in the primary? You can't blame her for being upset for losing the race - that's only human. However, that's what happens sometimes as other people can choose to run for the same seat. If he was a child molester or something and got the nomination by some fluke that would be another matter for her to pursue this route...but otherwise, this is pure selfishness and ego thinking she's simply entitled to the seat. It's even more ridiculous since she isn't so old she couldn't make a political comeback at some point for another office (like again Begich in a few years) and she was highly popular overall...but with these kinds of tactics she will go out looking like something altogether different - vindictive. It's sad.

Unless the 'next steps' are a concession call to Joe, and a heartfelt party-unifying plea in her concession speech, I never want to hear from her again.
