Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska walked across Seattle's 6th Avenue, surprising and engaging a bevy of green activists picketing to protest her advocacy of oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Now, a few years later, she is confronting a far less civil foe -- the Tea Party Express-backed campaign that ran her down in last month's Republican Senate primary.
Murkowski is running for re-election as a write-in candidate: It's an uphill climb, not only against GOP nominee Joe Miller and Democrat Scott McAdams -- but against out-of-state "extremists" who she claims "hijacked" the Republican Party.
Sour grapes? No, seeds of truth. The Tea Party Express, which poured money into Miller's campaign, grew out of the grass roots of California country clubs. It is the creation of right-wing Republican consultants who targeted first Alaska and later Delaware.

This POS is throwing out more lies and distortions than I've seen so far in one article. No wonder the PI doesn't publish a print edition anymore.
Is this from the lefty newspaper that went bankrupt a while back and now only has an on line presence?
Career politicians never die; they simply re-package themselves in different wrappers...there’s no intention of leaving D.C. and returning ‘home’.....
Help! I’m melting....., melting......, melting.....
Let these idiots keep attacking us.
We are 33% of the population right now and we are committed.
And THAT is about the percentage of dedicated Americans who effectuated the American Revolution in 1775.
dimorats are the ones who are leaving their yachts parked in neighboring tax free states to come spit at teapartiers—the mad hatter is out windsurfing
Lisa has lost it- her photos look like a those of a deranged woman, with that twisted gash of a mouth
No dignity for Ms Sore Loserman, is there?
No, seeds of truth. The Tea Party Express, which poured money into Miller’s campaign, grew out of the grass roots of California country clubs. .......................................... And it is being supported by the Silent Majority, who have again been awakened, and can’t take it anymore.
Another proof how republican/conservative the RINOs are!
Vote the bastRATs and bastRINOs out!!!
Michelle Malkin has a great write-up on this. Calls her “Evita” Murkowski. Hikarious.
Lisa Murkowski is a political stalker.
She is that girl frind who you left at least a month ago who simply will not go away. Her response to being dumped is to redouble her efforts to get you back, because she knows that she is exactly what you need whether you know it or not.
She won’t quit Alaska...you GOT FIRED by Alaska, you dummy, now get the hell out!

????WTH???? What a liar this author is.
**************
The MSM / Seattle P-I has never wasted a crisis of deep political bitterness...
Libs are perpetually familiar with this kind of rancor....
--They can sniff it out from hundreds of miles.
Murkowski needs to shut her pie hole...
AND GET A LIFE!!.....
As a sitting senator with a 2.8 million dollar war chest, if she couldn’t get her message out better than Joe Miller with his $600,000, she still couldn’t close the deal. That means she was rejected by the people of Alaska.
Seattle = San Fran lite....
The view locally (that is to say, here on the ground in AK)
is that Lisa has a solid base, and she and her staff really believe she will prevail. A lot of voters do not share that view.
OTOH, once she decleared herslef independant - she lost all (and that was very little) committee power. So, now she has nothing to bring to the table.
It will be interesting, to say the least.
Now what could have POSSIBLY driven the Seattle paper to bankruptcy?? Its “reporters” appear so non-biased and willing to ignore partisanship!!!
Seeds of lies from the Left.
This is great! They'll have consumed ALL of their credibility before NOV 2nd. How desperate!
This makes my prediction of very few Dems for the next 40 years look more and more accurate!
Yeah, keep telling yourself that if it makes you sleep better at night.
But you'll need something to help you sleep again next year, if you don't want to wake up and face reality.
