Whew, I was really worried that Lisa was pro-abortion, but I'm still not sure she's very fiscally conservative. Still, an OK pick -- let's hope she can hold the seat against Tony Knowles -- or whoever -- in 2004!

[hobbes1]

So now we have Government by dynastic succession.....

[dirtboy]

IMO this blows - it absolutely reeks of nepotism and third-world politics, and will come across negatively to a lot of swing voters.

[KantianBurke]

barf!!

[11th Earl of Mar]

It is good that she is pro-life. But this still stinks to high heaven.

[jigsaw]

The only relevant matters in this father-daughter appointment are, Has Lisa ever kicked a black dog, broken a yellow crayon, wrapped her head in a towel after taking a shower, burned a stick in a fire, exhaled, or been in a gasoline-powered car?

[Malcolm]

If she is pro-abortion, she IS the wrong choice, by default. I knew that appointing his daughter was a gross error in judgment. Hopefully, a pro-life challenger will knock her off in 2004.....

What a way to blow a Senate race...I can just see the RAT ads now..."Send King Frank and Princess Lisa a message"...

[litehaus]

"Lisa Murkowsi, 45, is a lawyer "

The LAST damn thing we needed!

[Dan from Michigan]

I'm not a fan of nepotism. I'd rather have Lisa Murkowski win in a special election than by dad's appointment. This can cause trouble later as well with swing voters.

[Austin Willard Wright]

A tax raiser is an "okay pick." I guess we disagree.

[CholeraJoe]

I'm certain that she is a racist like all other Republicans. I'll bet she carries portraits of slaveowners in her purse.

Just like Massachusetts: "After a woirld-wide search, Senate president Billy Bulger has chosen his brother-in-law to head the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authroity. Robert "Eraser Head" Bulger will be sworn-in on Monday. He is a 1967 graduate of the New England College of Roadwork and has for the past 25 years worked as the senate's
$ 130,000 a year Vehicle Actualization Officer, reporting to his older brother..."

[Centurion2000]

Gov. Frank Murkowski has appointed his daughter, Lisa Murkowski, to succeed him in the U.S. Senate.

The Democrats just picked up that senate seat when it comes up.

[KC_Conspirator]

If she's for drilling in ANWR, I would be able to cut her some slack on other areas

[cynicom]

searched hi and lo, huh????? What a crock. Geez, he really thinks the electrate is stupid.

[pgkdan]

She voted against a bill to limit state funding for abortions.

Doesn't sound too pro-life to me. This kind of blatant nepotism is embarrassing.

[koax]

ick!

this country was founded on a rejection of royalty.

i'm tired of families running the show. there are 280,000,000 people in this country; certainly talent can be found.

recent dynasties include: the kennedys, bushes, clintons, carnahans, etc.

[CRAW]

Are the Republicans finally learning how to play the game?

[hosepipe]

Oligarchy <---the word for the day.....
OK...everyone together....
GIMME AN "O"....
