Well I have heard from almost every one I know who has any history in Alaska that politics there are completely different than in the lower 48. Murkowski may have been right to not go negative up there, I don’t know... But almost to a T folks from both sides of the Political isle have told me Politics up there are different.
She did go negative — read the politicO article on it, I posted the link last night, very interesting read and probably had more than a little to do with her loss.
