Alaska Update
— Gabriel Malor

72 percent of the write-ins have now been counted. Murkowski is so confident of victory, she sent her top lawyer home. By the numbers, she's probably right.

The count stands at 98,565 write-ins and 87,517 votes for Miller after Friday's tally of absentee and questioned votes. That tally slightly widened the margin of write-ins over Miller to 11,048 votes.

To win, Miller needs 12.6% of those write-ins to be for someone other than Murkowski or to be thrown out for ballot marking errors. He's not going to make it. By 98%, the write-ins have been for Murkowski. Better than 90% of those are going unchallenged, which means that Murkowski will win without ever having to count the challenged ballots.

Miller's challenges actually dropped yesterday to only 8.4% after the flood of stories Thursday night (including here at the HQ) that he was making frivolous challenges to accurately spelled ballots. At that rate, his lawsuit will be moot and Murkowski will keep her Senate seat.

After the rest of the election day write-ins are counted, the Division of Elections will count the absentee and early vote write-ins. They are counting through the weekend and the whole thing is supposed to wrap up early next week.

6 Could it be that Alaskans didn't buy what Miller was doing a poor job of selling? From what I saw -- albeit from thousands of miles away -- Miller didn't run a very effective campaign in the general election. He must have thought the primary win and Palin's endorsement gave him the Senate seat on a platter.

It would appear that Moocowflopski was selling what Alaskans wanted, doubly so because they had to go to the extra effort of writing her name on the ballot.

It's another O'Donnell Moment. Better luck in six years, Alaska.

Now I run a whorehouse. Need anything?

Posted by: Whorehouse Harry Reid at November 13, 2010 06:01 AM (v53ix)

17 Can't the House simply end earmarks unilaterally? All appropriations bills must start in the House. So, they just don't pass any with earmarks in them. The Senate may, if they are stupid, then pass their own version with earmarks included. Fine. Then it goes to a conference committee. At this point, the House negotiators simply say "No." No earmarks. In the end, every bill must be voted on by both houses in the exact same language (post conference committee). The House simply needs to show it is serious and refuse to approve conference committee outcomes that include earmarks. In fact, does the House leadership even need to bring them to a vote?

I'm not sure why everyone is blaming Murkowski; the people of Alaska seem very motivated to return her to D.C.

Posted by: arhooley at November 13, 2010 06:25 AM (XgQaM)

28 Maybe, in all seriousness, we're looking at this the wrong way. Murky will caucus as a Republican. We didn't really lose anything up in Alaska. The only losers are Miller - who really needed to shave, and I'll always wonder how many votes looking like a someone that sleeps regularly under a bridge cost him - and Palin. So let's take Murky's victory as a wake up call: yes, there was a huge Republican wave, but not SO huge that voters would vote for just anybody. Maybe we should look at Palin as a potential nominee in 2012 in that light. Let's not nominate someone with huge negatives.

30 All one can say is if more people voted in the primary this whole thing would have been solved back then.   If it was a closed primary and there are more independents than Republicans it is now understandable how this out come can happen. If they had a open primary and all 87000 voted for Liza then the 76000 Joe Milers got would have been over back then.  One thing they (the parties) may have too look at to save time and effort in at the next state wide elections by opening some primary in a state that has so many inds.

That's a strange leap of logic -- or a really cool snark -- there, CC.

Though I've been around for more than a few elections, I'm still surprised by the devotion shown by Palin's followers. To me, she doesn't seem to offer any strengths that would make her a particularly wonderful national candidate. Like many other politicians, she's good at attacking opponents and offering vague -- but laudable - sentiments about What Should Be, without offering specific remedies for the problems she sees.

I'm all for seeing her go into the '12 primaries if she chooses. Put her record of accomplishments and her ideals against other would-be candidates and see who looks best.

But the negative reaction of many members of the general public to her is going to be a real problem, one that she needs to address. If she listens to the those who praise her unstintingly (while hurling epithets at anyone who has questions about her) and does nothing to alleviate the concerns of the undecided, she'll lose.

39 @38: Look, the current Gallup poll has her negatives at 52%. She has NEVER had higher positives than negatives in any poll that I know off. I'll happily be proven wrong about that, but surely Palin is not the only person in the world with her political views. If we can find someone that articulates the same view AND has Gallup approval ratings at 52% positive - why on Earth would we go with Palin at that point? I think MrScribbler is right - she needs to address the public's concerns about her. I can think of two things she should do: 1. Major policy speeches, over and over all over the country, with interviews with the major media - not just Greta - showing her nailing every question about policy, and 2. It may be too late now, given Levi, Bristol on Dancing with the Stars, etc., but she needs to de-emphasize her personal life, and project an image of sheer crashing, boring normalcy.

Not only that, but “GB” also stands for “German Brownshirt” and because GlennyÂ’s initials are “GB” that means heÂ’s a direct descendant of the German Brownshirts of HitlerÂ’s regime (another oppressive regime!) and ACTUALLY KNEW THE LITTLE GEORGE SOROS BACK THEN!

The VILE miscreants from We...stboro Baptist "church" will be there..this hero's family NEEDS us. (They plan to protest as this family will be laying their son to rest. We must be there for the family and for Lance Cpl Terry Honeycutt)
It is absolutely sick that there are people in our Country who reap the benefits of Patriots such as this young man and then do despicable acts like protesting at his funeral.
Stand with me and show unwavering support for him and his family.
The Patriot Guard Riders WILL be outside @ this young hero's funeral... "standing for those who stood for us"....I'm happy to join them in standing for this "boy"...who could be my son - or yours....

We all know Osama Obama is a dangerously inept, America-hating, ideology driven danger to the country (well, maybe KayinMaine doesn't, but what the hell). Saying that Palin is somehow inherently qualified to be president because she's not as bad as the Mohammedan Mouthpiece is hardly a positive. You could make the same case for millions of people.

Right. Circumcision decreases the rate of cancer of the penis to almost zero. It decreases the HIV infection rate substantially. It decreases the rate of penis infections to almost zero.

None, its over. She was primaried out, lost, and jiggered the legal system to win a write-in with the help of a corrupt local judicial/political establishment.

The best we can do is re-run Miller as a Republican in 2012 and hope that MooKowPie doesn't screw us too bad in her next 6 years. Keep in mind that she is a big RINO who's ratings have been barely above DIABLO.

They will probably get worse, even if she doesn't decide to caucus with the Dems.

Where I live just outside Boston, the high shcool had the kids start a campaign to get (strong-arm with the city's help) the pharmacies (Rite-Aid, Walgreen's, CVS, etc.) to stop selling cigarettes in their stores.

138 Vic at November 13, 2010 10:57 AM Actually, it was imperfect indeed. In my opinion the "I'm not going to answer any more questions. I'm not" announcement was a big mistake. I (and many others) understood his point; we'd seen every day what was going on. But it played right into the hands of those who peddled the idea that he was not on the up and up. Miller also should have been bolder about addressing the lies told about him. Also, it's not all about how Alaskans are addicted to pork. Some are, sure, but Murkowski may have had a lot of voter fraud going on, paired with Native corporations donating money to her they weren't supposed to.

Yes, there was a surplus at the end of his term.  But most people cannot stomach his drug legalization stance.

Not yet, but if she continues to refine her message, I will pull the lever for her.

But wait, you say, "Alaska gas pipeline, mayor of Wasilla!!!eleventy!!!" The pipeline hasn't been built, doesn't have a date for construction to start or end, and every town in America has a mayor.

I'm not saying Palin can't do anything, or lacks the intelligence to accomplish things that would show her in a favorable light to those looking for doers instead of talkers. I'd just like to see some evidence -- like running an actual business on a larger scale than some local shop, holding an elected position of some importance for a full term, etc. -- of that before entrusting the country to her.

You obviously aren't interested in seeing what she's done.  The Palins are business owners.  She didn't play along with Repubs in Alaska when she was on the Gas and Oil Commission and most of them are in jail.  Can you name one other contender from either party who was willing to do the right thing even if it jeopardized his/her political future? 

So far, Christie is doing what needs to be done with unions and keeping taxes the same.  When he pulls NJ the whole way out of the swirling water, come back.  Also let me know when he ever mentions following the Constitution re gun rights.  Cap and trade is also a stellar point in his column, too.  /sarc

Not exactly the best example since she quit that job too.  Even though its pretty obvious she left it as a protest for the corruption and to single all those dicks out and actually accomplish the job she was supposed to do.  But the "she quits" meme is going to trump the reality of the situation.

You aren't seeing how the government is slowly but surely working to take that away. That's probably half the reason Murky got so much of the Native vote--she has convinced them she is the one on their side when their traditional ways get prohibited one by one. If you lived in a dirt poor, expensive, remote village and had restrictions on how much subsistence you could engage in, and relied on things like food stamps, and Murky told you Joe Miller said they are unconstitutional...where do you think you'd vote? I'm not saying they were right to believe her, but Miller needed to get his message to villagers a lot more than he did. And to the commenter who said "Fuck you, Alaska," piss off.

So it's okay to mutilate the 'foreskin, testicle or penis of another person' as long as they are at least 18? I've got this hobo down in the basement and, well, I'm sure the grimy bastard is plenty old enough for testicle/penis mutilation but I sure don't want any trouble with the law on this!

I don't think it would turn up much.  You'd essentially need to catch them fabricating the ballots, or else constantly monitor all polling stations and tail anyone collecting and delivering ballots to prove that there is no way for the ballots they have claimed to find could have come from that location. 

Its sort of like the Democrat argument that we don't need to require ID at voting precincts because there hasn't been any evidence of voter fraud occuring that way.  Well no shit, you don't require ID so there is no way to determine if the person voting is who they claim to be.

Posted by: Unclefacts, Summoner of Meteors, Bacon Raconteur at November 13, 2010 09:27 AM (eCAn3)

297 Two problems for Miller...

- had some personal mistakes that normally would have been ignored if the primary had stood up and no write-in, but once the blood was in the water so to speak, the media just fed on it.
- after the surprise of the upset, the MACHINE in Alaska sprang to life and used all its tentacles to get huge vote advantage within the entire Native Association network and the leverage of the PORK to all those living off Federal dollars... which is a large part of Alaska.

Look, Alaska lives off Federal Pork because the Federal Government controls about 80% of the land and on that land are resources. So, most of the State depends on Federal largesse and Murkowski controls that.
Miller proposed that Alaska get control of the land and the resources and develop them so Alaskans could generate their own sources of income rather than looking to a Federal Government that will have less money to give to the states in the coming years.

Alaskans who voted for Murkowski voted for the short term fix rather than the longer term solution. Money in the hand speaks louder than the promise of more in the future.

The MACHINE is going to get Murkowski re-elected, got Harry Reid and Pelosi and Boxer re-elected too. They play dirty and until the Conservatives either learn to dismantle that corrupt MACHINE or create their own, these sort of problems will continue.

Oh well, can't win them all.

Lived there for five years, but being a Yankee, I can't put you into that knowledge.

The Clemson - South Carolina rivalry is fierce and the winner of their regular season-ending game gets bragging rights, which that school and its alumni make free use of throughout the next year.

Sometime in the mid 80s, Carolina played and lost a post-season bowl game in Florida. Clemson fans made sure every freeway overpass on northbound I-95 and I-26(?) from the GA-SC border to Columbia had at least one rubber chicken hanging from it to welcome the 'Cocks back home.

329 "Awaiting moderation" at Verum Serum.

(from Rall's book “Why shouldn’t we seize the mansions and bank accounts of the rich/thieves? Why shouldn’t we nationalize corporations? Why can’t we take the CEOs who pay themselves millions while firing workers, put them on trial, and throw them in prison?”


Good Lord, Rall, you are out of your ever-loving mind. The reason “we” (I assume you mean you) can’t steal other people’s property is that we live in a civilized nation of laws. As much as you drool over the “success” of murderous Chinese madmen and Al Qaeda illiterates, you know deep down that you wouldn’t last a minute in either society.
Your calls for violence are clear, concise and leave no room for misunderstanding. If you werenÂ’t such an ineffectual twit, people might actually be worried.

333 Alaskans have spoken -- they want their pork. The fight was for an Alaska that develops and lives off its resources or an Alaska that lives on the dole from Washington, DC. Murkowski was able to rally the freeloader to continue their gravy train. Miller should concede gracefully and shift his efforts to changing the majority opinion on that issue. The primary votes for Murkowski and the democrats who defected from their nominee made the difference.

335 Well.  That's a damned shame. 

I kinda wish though, that as an independent, she would lose all seniority and have to give up each and every committee position she currently holds and have to apply again, a write in ballot would work for me!

Seriously AK voters, who voted specifically to keep the gravy train rolling, Fuck You! and uh, Fuck Her Too!

(I'd bet that she'd win that one by a healthily bi-partisan  90% margin but I'd love to see the names of her fucking Senatorial "colleagues" that love her sooo much, on paper.)

The prosecution of Ted Stevens was a complete cock-up, to be sure but I'm all for further inquiry into each and every Pork-barreling Senator the voters of AK choose to inflict upon us.

At least the good people of Nebraska knew enough to publicly revile Ben Nelson in pizza parlors once they heard about the "Cornhusker Kickback".

Me? I'm mostly attached to the idea of 50 states for aesthetic reasons.

Our President seems to think we have 57, I'll bet we could make do again with 47, needs be.

I used to think that Alaskans were hardy pioneer types, willing to brave the elements and seek their destinies!

Nah, turns out that they vote like 1980's Canadians!

If that's what AK wants, that's what AK gets.

Fine by me. 

You want the rest of the continental United States to point and laugh at you like we've always done to the retards from Maine or Vermont?

Happy to oblige.

337 From reneeforcongress dot com:

We are pleased that the canvass has produced the result we were confident all along that it would. We donÂ’t know yet whether or not Congressman Etheridge will go forward with a call for a recount, but we have not found anywhere in North Carolina history that a lead this large has ever been overturned as a result of a recount. At this point our only concern over the prospect of a recount is the cost to the taxpayers of North Carolina. We will wait and see what Congressman Etheridge decides to do, but at the same time we are going forward in preparation to serve the people of the Second Congressional District.

348 If it is so obvious that perhaps our vote is being tampered with in various places then why isn't someone doing something about it?

Devin Nunes intimated on Batchelor that there were problems in CA and the party and the lawyers were doing something and there would be an announcement.  I posted that on here and the next time he was on Batchelor, Batchelor had on tow of his looney...pretending to be center commenter who both swore up and down that the vote was the vote and Nunes should just shut up and that was that.  Nunes was on with them and he concurred.  So I'm guessing they read about it on here and Nunes was successfully trounced.

are you using a mitre box or a mitre saw?

If you are using a saw the guy on HGTV said yesterday that you need to make sure the blade is fully spinning before you cut down.

If you are using a box go the opposite way first and then start cutting.

Also, now you've created some scrap wood so try the cut out first on that.   Also, for corners I usually angel in with a saw so it fits together better.   And, don't forget professional painters fill in the gaps with white stuff in a caulking gun and make it look great.

358 The AD News is McClatchy, it makes the Times (on both coasts) seem honest,  they published every one of those 26 ethics complaints yet nothing came of them, except for the half a mill, acquired in legal bills to fight them all. Murkowski was willing to entertain  a carbon tax, if not the Kerry/Markey cap n trade bill, she really has no qualms with government healthcare, was one of the squishes who gave the thumbs down to John Bolton, She was BP's favorite, lavished with the second largest amount of donations to Obama.

Box.  I don't do enough trim work for my cheap ass to invest in a mitre saw.

I'm okay right now because I cut a sample that had the ends going the right way, labeled it L-R and look at it before I start the next piece.  I'm taking a break right now because I bent a nail over and destroyed the soft wood trim piece getting it out.  Pissed off I am.

376 "Your state just elected a stupid RINO princess. It's going to come in for derision, just like CA does for electing who it does. Deal with it." If you really want to make a difference then pick up the phone and call LT Governor Campbell's office: http://ltgov.alaska.gov/ and ask him who he thinks he is making up "guidelines" that act contrary to Alaska statutes? Tell him how you feel about the "short term solutions" (someone mentioned here) and how ticked of you are that his unlawful behavior affects your state in such a negative way. Next you can call (or write) the Anchorage Daily Snooze: http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/ And let them know how you feel about the lies they spread about Joe Miller and the nasty way they supported dragging his personnel file out into public and never so much as asked Lisa Murkowski about her Obamacare support or global warming fanatacism. There's also the Alaska Dispatch: http://alaskadispatch.com/ who sent a goon disguised as a journalist to manufacture a "run in" with Miller. He stalked Miller and followed him into the bathroom even, and refused to leave when asked to. In the end he pushed someone into a locker and it was required he be cuffed because he by this time had become a public menace. Then there's John Tracy, who in the name of the Murkowski campaign had a radio host tossed off the air for talking about the campaign in a way he didn't like, threatening the station manager with a lawsuit if he didn't comply. Not to mention Lisa Murkowski herself. http://murkowski.senate.gov/public/ Why not let her know exactly how you feel about voter fraud, Native corporations' use of federal monies for her campaign, her refusal to respect the will of the people as she had promised and the OUTRAGEOUS lies she told about Joe Miller, such as the ad we all were inundated with on the radio in which the voiceover says, "And Joe Miller had a journalist *arrested* for asking a question! *Really* Joe?" Tell her you will be watching her with a keen eye because her greed and lack of ethics won't affect Alaska, but rather the entire nation. If your anger is really this large, get real and help make a difference, call or write these people/agencies and ask everyone you know to do as well. The time, as I'm sure you know, when we pay attention an appeal to just our own states' representatives is long gone. Jim DeMint and his staff (lovely people) are aware of this, but be warned, Murkowski's staff are a bunch of hacks. Or you can just "deal with it." There are plenty of Alaskans who have committed to fighting for freedom; if you would like to swap info and tips (etc.), feel free~or you can just keep going to various blogs and tell us to "fuck off." I'm as upset and angry as you are, but if you think we should go to villages and tell the people what idiots they all are, you might as well expect Murkowski to be senator for life.
