“Moore often works for Democrats but urged Murkowski to get into the race as a write-in.”
Imagine that.
That’s an odd headline. “Non-GOP voters”? Why don’t they just say Murkowski is drawing dem and dem-leaning independent voters away from the dem candidate?
If Murkowski wins watch the GOP “leaders” kiss her traitorous butt.
He's now the poster child for "It seemed like a good idea at the time."

So should I care, if voters realize they are voting the survival of their Republic?
Remember when the first reports were coming back that Miller would have a tough race against the Democrat, and it was far from assured?
LOL! Whatever happened to that analysis?
Now it looks like Miller will get over 50%, and Mirkcowsky and McAdams will fight over the scraps!
Who would vote for Murkowski, anyway? I can only think of two groups. Liberal Republicans who simply don’t like the conservative wing of the party, and the Dhims who are hoping to help defeat Miller. Neither group would vote for Miller in the first place.
“There were two schools of thought prior to (Murkowski) jumping in,” said Anchorage pollster and political consultant Ivan Moore. “The first was that Lisa would split the Republican vote and lead to the Democrat winning. The second was that Lisa would basically split the anti-Miller vote and basically decimate Scott McAdams’ chances”
Boy, that’s brilliant./s
Sounds like something john effin kerry might say
The only poll I have seen was a poll done by someone involved in the Democrat’s campaign.
What poll are they referring to? Is there a new one?
I do think that Murkowski’s write-in campaign may be a blessing in disguise. I hope that Miller makes hay out of the fact that Lisa Murkowski failed the Alaska Bar exam four time.
Thanks GATOR NAVY.
Go Joe!
We just got one of those calls tonight. (I live out here in Bush Alaska, at the edge of the treeline.)
One thing about polls: people don’t tell the truth every time. My 12-year-old son has been having a lot of fun with the computer-generated poll calls, inventing many things on the fly and smiling with glee as the computer program lurches this way and that way. I had no idea he was a middle-aged woman of Hispanic descent who wanted to raise taxes on everything, except capital gains, and also wanted to open ANWR but close the Pebble Mine. The good news is that he earns more than $200,000 annually.
I can’t believe my son’s the only guy tweaking the polls. I take them with a large salt lick.
Nice to see this story validates Dittman, who was interviewed on Channel 2 the day Lisa declared her write-in. He said Miller would win and Lisa would siphon off the Democrat and liberal voter. They are out there, like ruffed grouse on a winter day. Occasionally you flush them out and they make a great noise while flying away.
IMHO
Seems like Murcowski is going to run until she wins.
A) I don’t think any of the polls quoted in this article are from Rasmussen.
B) I would imagine that the anti-Murkowski ads from 501c groups are only about to begin. The contrast between a Bronze Star-winning, Yale law grad, masters in economics Miller and silver-spoon fifth-time’s the-charm Murkowski is not her friend.
That woman may well cost us a seat that should be ours.
