What a crock of shit. Nobody gets tossed from the primaries and comes up winning by that kind of margin without a lot of dirty tricks and flat out cheating.

What about Joe Lieberman vs. Ned Lamont in 2006?

You can if you get a ton of RATS to vote for you!

Ton = ten thousand. I thought the vote was a lot closer, like around 2000.

Lieberman won as an independent in CT after losing in the democrat primary. I haven’t been following all the details of this vote count, but Murkowski may have just done what Lieberman did in CT: win the centrist vote. Many of the democrats may have decided their candidate couldn’t win and switched over to voting for Murkowski. That’s similar to what happened in CT when a lot of democrats voted for Lieberman and gave him the win in that election.

I agree.

Yep. She is a flat out liberal.

Maybe you have overestimated the “conservatism” of AK voters. They are very secular there.

If the primary winner runs a general election campaign as bad as Miller, it can happen.
He did not take the general election seriously enough. He was measuring the drapes while Lisa was plotting.
