Lisa Murkowski supporters are urging people to come out tonight for what’s being called a “campaign kick off,” although her campaign manager isn’t ready to say that she’s decided to run.
Bonnie Jack, who was a Murkowski campaign elections observer for the count of absentee votes, sent out an email this morning. “Join us at the Kick-off of Senator Lisa's campaign -- with a theme of "write in her name in and fill in the oval."
"Denai'na Convention Center, third floor and hopefully out on the sunny deck, 5 pm. Bring your family including children, friends and business associates. We plan to make history!”
Jack confirmed to me that she sent the email, and indicated that obviously the conclusion to be drawn from it is that Murkowski is running.

If this is true, will John Cornyn follow through with his promise to remove her from her leadership post?

The Tea Party needs to take out billboards in Alaska with Murkowski’s name spelled wrong!
Go Mirkowsky!!
Send her “campaign” a simultaneous email indicating that the news about her write-in campaign inspired you to contribute to Miller.
I only hope that there is no “quiet” support for Murkowski (but would not be surpirsed to see it) from the Republican “establishment’ including Rove, the Senate Campaign Committee (members or staff), the Weekly Standard, and the remnants of the two Bush Administrations of the father and son. I expect that Frum, Douthart and the other house “conservatives” will be pulling for her.
Please write in for Lisa...
MURCOWSKII (Don’t forget the spelling)
She’s taking orders from the establishment. They must de-rail Tea Party candidates to protect their fiefdoms, even if it means giving the seat to an establishment democrat. Establishment first, party affiliation second, conservatives dead last. That’s how it must be to maintain the ruling class.
She can’t win now. I guess the RINOs are going to do scorched earth and support the communists.
I hope they know that if they force a 3rd party, their party will always lose.
By the way, isn’t Friday night a ridiculous night to kick off a campaign? Most people would want this to make a big splash. Late Friday is for stuff that gets buried in an unread Saturday paper, and unwatched Saturday newscast, and is old news by Monday.Maybe she wants 48 hours before Rush skewers her.
So for the last 100 years when the RINO won and the conservative lost, we were told to get behind the RINO for the good of the party. But now when we win, all bets are off.
I’m telling you, the RINOs are becoming more hated than the libs.
How fast can the Unions round em up?
This reminds me of the boneheads in the GW Bush Administration and the Senate Campaign Committee supporting the far-left Lincoln Chafee (with party MONEY) against a popular conservative mayor in the primary “who can’t win”. Well, Chafee LOST, quite badly, and returned the favor by endorsing Barack Obama in 2008.
It’s really sad really....just to cipher votes away from Miller.
This is why we have to get rid of every RINO in the party. They are Democrat moles and spys.
Is this the GOP’s way of teaching us a lesson? We will see what hey do after her announcement. If we hear nothing but crickets, we will know.
Yup, the establishment GOP prefers an establishment Dem who will play the DC beltway game than an outsider Rep who refuses to play the game.
You lost. The people spoke. Now get on board or get the hell out of the way!
Evicted RINOs become barnacles that need to be scraped off the hull of America.
