— 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.

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.

She should lose her leadership position since she's and independent, right?

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.
Posted by: MrScribbler at November 13, 2010 06:39 AM (Ulu3i)
She ran as a Republican write-in, she's not an independent.

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
Yeah, and if Lincoln shaved he'd be alive today, US Grant really was a bum, and that Benjamin Harrison--I mean, Jeeze...
It's. Alaska. You're giving it to Murky because she shaves?
Miller's beard was probably the most attractive feature he showed the voters.

Why not? She won before the vote was even held when it became obvious that she had the courts and the rest of the State voting apparatus on her side.
It helps to be part of the crooked political establishment in AK. Palin didn't get enough of them in jail during her two years.

I'm picturing 50, long stringy white hair, multi-layered brown skirts and crochet sweater. There's a lot a Maine woman up north who look like Appalachian crones. And their husbands have the Oak Ridge Boys beards cascading over the overalls.

Do yourself -- and Palin -- a favor, and stop saying "hey, Obama did x or y, so how can you criticize Palin?" anytime anyone dares to want Palin to actually, you know, do something.
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.

I don't know, but I was actually awoken in the middle of the night last night thinking about this race and how peeved I am that she will have won it after all her breathtaking arrogance and mean-spiritedness.
Also, shouldn't the GOP be worried that if they let this stand than write-in challenges will become a very common tactic for losing GOP primary-candidates? It will be chaos!

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.
It worked. The pharmacies caved to the pressure.

Too many folks find Palin's negatives with a microscope and declare "OMG! That's huge!"
What potential GOP 2012 candidate had the guts to speak up and say "Death Panels"?
Mitt?
Pence?
Think about the shape the GOP was in in July 2009 and the shape it is in now.
Palin is not solely responsible for that change, but she has helped to lead it. She is a natural-born leader. Policy wonks get Cabinet positions.
Did you see Kathleen Parker bragging about how she led the destruction of Palin 1.0? What other politician would get the last word or even bother? (I've tried to copy/paste about 20 times now, so here's the linky.) When Christie gives reporters hell, he's revered. Palin? Not so much.

I accept Palin's flaws, and there are a few. But I am tremendously impressed with her focus, her clear love of our great country, and her understanding of the profound flaws in the current drive toward a welfare state. Is she presidential? Not yet, but if she continues to refine her message, I will pull the lever for her.

You know if McConnell wasn't such a worthless pussy and bestest buds with lisa, he would have a pair of balls and strip her of rank and seniority. She would get the bottom of the barrel of positions, below the incoming freshmen. She's not likely to be a 60th vote for the dems so there is no incentive for us to let her play a game of "who wants to give me stuff?" Offer her shit and the dems will have no need to give her a better deal. And she will stay with the Republicans so as not to piss off Alaska voters.

If "fighting" means tromping around Alaska, writing Facebook posts and giving speeches filled with generalities, I suppose Palin "fights."
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.

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.

While the bulls deal brutally with rival males, they treat prospective mates with surprising tenderness, grunting softly, rubbing their bodies, biting them gently and even blowing bubbles against their checks. Mating takes place in shallow, open water. Male gators aren't monogamous, and over the course of a season a strong and aggressive bull may have several partners.

- 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.

NY-25 is Ann Marie Buerkel and she's picked up a couple dozen more votes. Absentee ballots for my country in that district aren't going to start being counted until sometime next week, and they heavily trend R.

The problem with Ted Rall types, is they scream, stamp, shout and instigate for violent measures against people over ideologies he doesn’t agree with. When their own words are shown to them they invariably say “I never said that, you’re taking me out of context”, even though the context is right there in their own words. Ever try pinning a worm down?
And, since Ted is apparently reading and responding to comments here, let me just say, bring it son. You call for armed insurrection against this country, somehow I seriously doubt youÂ’ll be out front leading the charge.

yeah let me clarify that, this state under DEMOCRAT leadership petitioned Holder and his corruptocrats for an extension for the absentee ballots, the majority being military overseas. They did not make the petitioned deadline and a lot of them have been completely disenfranchised. Having said that, the ones that will be counted that were returned on time will still trend heavily R in my county(Wayne) as they have in every election.

Its such a joke when you start looking at it. Myanmar recently held "elections" where the military backed party just happens to be winning an overwhelming majority of the votes. And now they let her out. They'd kill her if they thought they could get away with it. I expect that she will be unable to leave the country, and will be back under house arrest before the end of next year.

then no wonder they have no idea what is going on with real estate in the rest of the country.
One of the reasons for that is because home ownership changes every 2-4yrs in that part of the country. So MD, VA, always have large property values.
Hell, I was informed about that years and years ago.

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. They play for keeps there.

Okay, a week ago, the R's led in the following races:
NY-25, IL-8, VA-11, NC-2, and CA-20.
The Democrats stole CA-20, VA-11, and are about to steal IL-8.
Buerkle in NY-25 might escape the burglary, I dunno. In NC-2, Ellmers has a 1400+ vote lead and they'll be doing a full recount next week. Etheridge might steal that one, too.

(from Rall's book
“Why shouldn’t we seize the mansions and bank accounts of the
rich/thieves? Why shouldnÂ’t we nationalize corporations? Why canÂ’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 wouldnÂ’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.

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.

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.

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.
