Hoh Boy: Murkowski Meets With Libertarian Candidate
— Ace

Just can't wean herself off the public tit.

Kohlhaas said there have been talks with unidentified Murkowski backers about a Libertarian run.

"To their credit, they have reached out," he said.

He described the talks about philosophy, platform and issues as fruitful and constructive, but described her candidacy as a Libertarian as seemingly impossible.

I am less concerned about this than I had been. I am convinced now that Joe Miller is a rock star. Yes, she can threaten him.

But this guy? WestPointDesertStormBronzeStarYaleLawConservativeJudge?

He's the next Scott Brown, except a conservative, red-state Scott Brown.

Thanks to Dr. Spank.

Why are all these mean people trying to take it away from meeeee????

5 IIRC, they've already done polling on this and it says Miller by 7-8 over Murkowski with the Dem candidate getting about 20%.

If she wants to sign her political death warrant, more power to her.  It will just cement Palin's destruction of the Murkowski political dynasty in Alaska.

6 Isn't Murkowski's only real selling point that she can get more pork for Alaska? Why would a libertarian want to sign on to that?

Heck if the LPers care about anything other then legalizing pot, why aren't they endorsing Miller?

Yeah, especially in Alaska.
Still...Murkowski looks pathetic, but stranger things have happened...

9 This is getting petty and stupid. Miller won. Rossi won. Kirk won. Angle won. Buck won. Yet in their respective states there are these fucking idiots who would rather lose the race than get behind the winner. In fairness to the Didiertards in WA, they have prettymuch rallied around Rossi. The DeVoreans in CA have done so around Fiorina. But still, it shouldn't even be a question. Rule should be in order to run you sign an agreement that if you LOSE you DO NOT RUN 3RD PARTY and you must IMMEDIATELY endorse the winner. Gah.

'Zactly.

As pissed off as I get for being the first person to believe in Brown and then seeing him turn into a pile of 55% red, 45% blue crap... I have to remind myself what state he represents.

If Miller is who he looks like, he'll be 100% red.

Don't hold your breath on that one.  McConnell is likely steaming that his hand-picked protege just got tossed out on her ass on the heels of another one of his big supporters, Bob Bennett, getting tossed by the Utah caucus.

I'm pretty sure he's more pissed off about losing his personal power base than he is happy that they're about to retake the Senate.

31 Remember when the big worry among *some* people about the Tea Party was that it would spawn a dozen third party general campaign runs and hand seats to the Dems?  And some of us were more worried that typically self-indulged RINOs would not get the clue that voters have rejected them and be the real problem?

Good times.  Good times.

also, this is short sighted. She can run for, and likely win, Begich's seat, in 2012 or 2014, i don't remember when it comes up for re election.

Why sacrifice any future in Alaskan politics?

The people of alaska were already less than thrilled with her nepotistic annointment, i doubt add sore loser and disloyal to her repetoire will endear her to the Alaska people.

 

Take some time off Murkowski, get a job you are qualified for, like 5 dollar whore, and regroup, come back and run for the senate in a couple of years.

reason freaking kills me. They are liberal on social issues, pure retard on everything else.

I bought the magizine once thinking i would enjoy it.

it shouldn't claim to be libertarian, it should just describe itself as a bunch of dudes unwilling to make any concrete pronouncements or decisions, but more than willing to complain about what we don't like.

Also, it is filled with statists who are liberal on social issues, therefore i guess they are libertarians. I don't follow that reasoning either.

85 I respect the Red State credentials of Joe Miller and Sharron Angle. But as a law and order conservative, I am concerned about their recent entanglements with the legal system. It appears that Mr. Miller failed to observe the rules of the road, to the extent his own insurer found him at fault. Even more troubling, Mrs. Angle seems to have violated copyright laws -- which are enshrined in our Constitution. I do certainly hope that these candidates win. However, I am conflicted about the compromise if I pull the level for either one before their troubles are sorted out by the system. So I believe I will sit this one out.

That's one analogy. Another might be, you're thristy in the woods and all the water is contaminated. Finding something is vital, but no stream is pure. Somewhere you have to take a drink, or you die of your search for purity; drink the wrong stream, and it's dysentary.

111 As pissed off as I get for being the first person to believe in Brown and then seeing him turn into a pile of 55% red, 45% blue crap... I have to remind myself what state he represents.

So far, that 45%—the cloture votes to get lefty economic horrors enacted, especially—is stuff his state's voters don't favor, either.

Massachusetts is only a couple points more "blue" than Texas, on issues. He could have voted the right way on everything and cost himself nothing—with voters. But he's not there to represent them.

The problem with blue-state RINOs isn't that they cave to liberal voters. They don't have liberal voters. They have other masters.

McAdams? Not so much. His tardness is real.

But in the interview with RealClearPolitics, he demonstrated an unwillingness to answer some of the most basic policy questions that have permeated the national debate in recent months.

Asked if he would have voted for national health care reform, McAdams paused for a full 10 seconds before replying, "Let's see. One moment please."

Another 15 seconds of silence came next, before McAdams finally asked to hear the reporter's next question.

Asked next for his views on Afghanistan and TARP, McAdams said, "Why don't you let me get back to you on that."

Calls to the McAdams campaign and the Alaska Democratic Party asking for clarification were unreturned as of late Thursday night.

133 Miller is already being courted by all the GOP leadership. Guess who Miller mentioned he'd like to unite with first? DeMint.

Alaska chose wisely.

Now that Alaskans can see that a conservative outsider can win - even against all odds against a powerful incumbent - they'll choose wisely again if Murkowski changes her stripes. When you're conflicted as a voter because you want the "sure thing" to win against the bigger evil, and today that's the Progressive/Democrat Party, you hedge a bit and rationalize with the known commodity - the "safe" incumbent with an "R." Well that paradigm was just shot. The "no chance" guy won and he got to knock off a philosophically weak incumbent to boot.

Miller's popularity will grow. He's no longer a risk as defined by those who deem it their domain to distribute the reins.

As a lifelong conservative, I truly appreciate your thoughtful and insightful posts. I often find myself concerned with the noisy, overheated rhetoric from the neo-conservative right, and wonder why we can't push our solid conservative agenda without the theatrics or wild passion usually seen on the left. While I'm 85% on-board with the tea party's goals, I can't help but wonder if such a rudderless vessel is really the right ship for our journey.  It's comforting to see that reasoned, level-headed conservatism still exists.  Keep up the good work!  What a wonderful tonic.

Talk about a clueless "lifelong conservative": David Brooks imagines the Barack Obama that might have been.

Obama, in this fanciful version, held up his hand. He told his aides to put away the history books and reject the New Deal comparisons. Unlike in 1932, Americans today have a raging distrust of Washington, he observed. Living through a crisis caused by excessive debt, they will viscerally recoil at the prospect of federal debt without end. “Somehow,” Obama concluded, “we have to address the crisis without further terrifying the American people.”

The stimulus package, he continued, should rely heavily on cutting payroll taxes. This, he argued, will send a quick jolt to the economy without concentrating power in Washington. It will deliver a sharp psychological boost to the middle class. It might even be bipartisan. Obama noted that John McCain had a $445 billion stimulus plan along these lines and his fellow Republican senator, Mel Martinez, a $713 billion plan.  

Sure, but why would any stimulus plan be necessary, David?  In any alternate universe in which Obama held those kinds of beliefs, there'd be an abundance of unicorns that shat Skittles and pissed ice cold beer, and we'd all live on the Big Rock Candy Mountain.

At night before I go to bed, I pull up Maxim and Vogue and look at the pictures of Michelle Obama. She's stunning and I go to bed dreaming about her holding me in those rugged, I mean, feminine arms of her.

212 Reports on Tuesday did not indicate whether the Libertarians may have reconsidered, but Bitney alluded to the possibility that a deal might still be struck.

"They could want everything from a lunch at the Capitol to who knows what," Bitney said. (Oh really? Is he saying Lisa is going to buy her way onto the Libertarian ticket??) "I think these guys are a little bit star struck, and they're getting more attention than they've probably ever gotten in their whole lives, and it's got to be intriguing and exciting all at once."

Bitney said that he had "no idea" whether Murkowski was meeting with Haase, or other members of the Libertarian Party, on Tuesday.

"She hasn't told me she's meeting with them and I haven't talked to them," Bitney said. "All I go on is the rumors I hear."

Murkowski enjoys nearly universal name recognition in Alaska, a formidable campaign war chest, and could be a competitive candidate in a three-way race against Miller and Democratic nominee Scott McAdams.

Bitney said that Murkowski has received a tremendous amount of encouragement to take on Miller again.

"Somebody put up a Facebook site to tell her to run, and we're getting hundreds of emails telling her to run, phone calls," Bitney said. "There's a lot of people that want a rematch. A lot of people were surprised by the primary and there's still a lot of support out there." (Lisa needs to ask those people where they were on Aug. 24)

234 Regular Guy, I would hazard to say my support of Tea Party principles hovers closer to 90%. However, I recognize the possibility of backlash if our refreshing ideas are stated too forcefully. It is all a matter of tone. I recall once seeing a Mr. Todd (or Lou Dodd, I remember he was the network's Political Director) recommend something called the Coffee Party. The idea was to promote a fully American agenda without raising an unnecessary fuss. Their website seems to recommend reforming the financing of campaigns, which would apparently reduce the number of counterproductive political ads which alienate issues-oriented conservatives like myself. Unfortunately such legislation could not be acted on until the next election cycle so I will likely refrain fro voting until then.

"First, beat the Democrat" would be the smart rule.  I don't give a rat-fuck if Harry Reid loses to Ronald Reagan, Barry Goldwater, Nelson Rockefeller, or Lincoln CHafee - but I do know Reid would be golden-brown toast by now if Nevada Republicans hadn't gone nuts and nominated chicken-barter Teabag Bitch.

We're gonna lose out on hearing *Harry Reid's* concession speech because we can't nominate a nice, conventional Republican who can *win*. 

First.  Beat the Democrat.

274 Average Joe,
I'm a little taken aback that you could find a full 9 in 10 of the tea party's objectives to be in line with your no-nonsense way of thinking.  Truthfully, I was being a bit charitable with my "85%" figure.  But I'll give my estimation some serious thought, as your level-headed analysis is something I've grown to trust.
As for sitting out this election, are you sure that a well-placed protest vote for one of the third parties-- as distressing and troubling as such an action would be-- wouldn't do more to advance the cause?

Posted by: Regular Guy at September 07, 2010 03:58 PM (KXcqh)

275 Sanssoucy, Rubio is leading in the polls and trending higher. So is Angle. Not a fan of O'Donnell, but that's what primaries are for. And Miller is set to win. So you're bitching about a non issue. Further, what's the point of the GOP gaining the Senate if they don't make some move to the right? I don't expect a massive ideological shift after this election, but some movement of the GOP Senators from their 2000-2006 position has to take place, or we're no better off than we were.

Posted by: Concerned Christian XBradTC at September 07, 2010 03:59 PM (X0Ona)

276 Three fucking seats.  Lost. 

What are you on about? 

Miller is +8 and +6 vs McAdams.

Rubio is up in 4 out of 6 polls.  (Your buddy Crist is up in the other two.)

Angle is behind, but I don't think anyone thought her opponent was a sure thing to beat Reid. 

Step away from the medical mushrooms and go do some research at RCP.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- U.S. Rep. John Spratt (D - Teetsucker) will debate his Republican challenger Mick Mulvaney on Tuesday, but the only people who will get to see any of it have already bought tickets to the sold out dinner at a South Carolina Lions Club.

You know, you could hold your nose (or those noses around you you wish to convert) and vote for the other Republican - the one that did win - to accomplish the latter.

And not go around calling Angle "chicken-barter Teabag Bitch."

Just a thought.

284 A return to the fundamental values of our country isn't a matter of Left or Right, it's a matter of common sense. I'd be proud if other conservatives like me were to speak up and praise our wonderful nation in one voice, and let that voice drown out Sarah Palin's stupid fucking ham-hole.

And the guy who was here several months before that, doing a gloating victory lap over the Dems' impending cramdown of ObamaCare?

Yeah, that was you.  Let us know what we're missing on TV November 2nd, jackass.

299 My bet is this is being pushed by the same guy who started the first initiative.

The LP loses any credibility they may have earned in Alaska if they sell their nomination to Murkowski, and the transfer of money in exchange for a ballot-qualified party nomination to federal office is very likely illegal.

It is time for McConnell to step in and tell Murky the bad news:  she lost, and she's done, and if she wishes to salvage any semblance of self-respect and dignity as she leaves, she needs to stop this nonsense now.

302 Advice to Palin:  call Mitch McConnel and tell that nutless RINO cockholster that if he doesn't reel in Senator Veruca Salt (RINO-AK) that she'll endorse O'Donnel and spend all of next week in Delaware campaigning for her, and that his sorry scalp will be the next she takes when he's up for reelection.

303 Poor Murkowski.  Right now it's almost like she's playing chess with the snowbilly and she's down a rook and a bishop.

She gets bulldozed out of the way this time, even if she sat down quietly the odds are good she'd have to face Parnell for the Begich seat in 2012, and who might she have to face if she ran for Governor then?

What will the political landscape look like then?  Will the purists or the porkers be ascendant in the GOP two years from now? 

Posted by: JEM at September 07, 2010 09:29 PM (o+SC1)

304 /b/tard - pretty much true.  

There's no reason EVER to support a warmist carbon-regulator in a state like Florida or Alaska. 

The Dems had Lieberman wander off the reservation and get away with it, of course.
