People view the establishment Republicans like Rove Cornyn Murkowski as our allies they are not they are in bed with the radicals in the Democrat party.

I think I follow your point and I agree.

What I mean to say is that Miller, a good Conservative, ought to fight this to the bitter end and not settle for the dirty tricks murkowsky dished out. The way I understand it there are thousands of military votes left to come in still. That matters. It seems that the decision to allow the "intent of the voter" rather than the written law can be appealed.

Joe Miller should fight on as a Conservative. All the way to the end.

Hopefully Miller will try again against Alaska’s Dem. Senator Begich. There’s no reason a Dem should be occupying that seat. The only reason he is is because of the Justice Department’s abusive and ultimately failed attack on the late Senator Ted Stevens. Begich is therefore a one term accident and Miller could easily beat him.

Does Gov. Parnell have to certify the election results?

What if he refused to do so and instead certified Miller as the official winner?

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Miller will be on Cavuto’s show on FOX at 4 PM.

she’s a bad candidate with lots of baggage.

And yet she was popular enough to accomplish a feat that hasn't happened for half a century. I call BS.

[dps.inspect]

Well, what is really going on is the exposing of socialist democrat plants in the Rep party. She will be seen for what she really is, a DEMOCRAT and the state will be heading in the same direction as Cal...

[Cricket24]

She should now change her party affiliation since she will probably vote with the dems anyway. WHAT a *itch!

[listenhillary]

They won’t pull her committee seats.

[carton253]

I agree. If the law says that the name should be written correctly to count as a vote, then the name should be written correctly to count.

That is not what you wrote first. You suggested voter fraud in the case of a few people writing her name in over and over.

glenn beck said it best. Its like in a football match. You have the crowd against you, the other team against you, the umpire against you and some members on your own team against you

[stockpirate]

She said she does NOT want Obama to fail!

[presently no screen name]

Yes, that’s what they said. And it’s still the morning in Alaska.

[steve0]

NOOOoooooooooooooooooo. Please, now you have brought me to tears. Stupid welfare queens.

[pollywog]

DITTO!!!!!!!

[Logical me]

Alaska is as corrupt as California and New York

What is the difference between them now? Do you know?

Wondering if the difference is so great that the military votes couldn’t outweigh it. We need to hear more before we succumb to the media’s opinion.

[animal172]

Did we really think the outcome would be different?

[TexasCajun]

Thanks, I was thinking she ran as an Independant write-in.

I hope she gets treated like dog crap.

His biggest mistake was running on “cutting off Washington earmarks to Alaska”. Even the Alaska republicans do not want that to happen.

Pretty much, though Miller did kinda implode in the last weeks of the campaign. He might have still won were it not for the way he handled the issue of his personnel file and the disciplinary action. He should have just gotten it out there and not risked the negative news being released by court order. It isn't like the information that came out was that big of a deal. In the end it looked like he'd covered something up and it sunk his campaign for good.
