The Arizona Assassin: Seriously Disturbed History

Candidate's name spells trouble on Alaska's ballot forms
As votes were counted in America's tumultuous Midterm last night, nowhere was there more scope for chaos in the complex counting process than in Alaska, where Election supervisors were warning that declaring a winner in the US Senate race may not take a few hours, but perhaps days or even longer. The problem is the Republican Incumbent Lisa Murkowski and her exotic name. After losing the Republican Primary contest to the Tea Party Candidate Joe Miller, she decided to keep running as a "write-i...

Alaska write-ins lead Miller, McAdams
Initial tallies out of Alaska show write-in votes – presumably for Sen. Lisa Murkowski – to be in the lead. With 27.6 percent of precincts reporting, write-in votes received 39 percent, while Republican Joe Miller had 34 percent and Democrat Scott McAdams had 25 percent. If the write-in votes lead at the end of the evening, it’s going to take several weeks before Alaskans know who their next Senator is. Officials will start counting ballots on Nov. 18 – a process they...

OC's AdTracker on the Bizarre Alaska Senate Race
As you watch the election results roll in tonight, keep an eye on the race to represent Alaska in the U.S. Senate. Lisa Murkowski narrowly lost her primary this spring against newcomer and Tea Party Candidate Joe Miller. She then decided to run as an Independent, but Alaska election law keeps her off the ballot because she lost a primary, so she’s having to run as a write-in (which isn’t easy with a last name like Murkowski). Miller now has the Republican nomination and a lot of Tea ...

How's this for GOTV?
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Supporters of Incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R) are wearing bracelets with Murkowski's name on them.

Team Murkowski has been handing them out at rallies. One side says, "Lisa Murkowski". Th...

How Murkowski Could Fare as a Write-In
By Vauhini Vara In Alaska, polling places are set to close at 8 p.m. (midnight on the East Coast), with early election results expected soon afterward. To understand how Lisa Murkowski could fare in her write-in candidacy to keep her Senate seat, consider Ernest Gruening. Mr. Gruening, a Democrat known as “the father of Alaska statehood,” served as one of the state’s first senators from 1959 to 1969. Like Ms. Murkowski, Mr. Gruening decided on a write-in bid to keep his seat after losing in

HuffPost Pollster's Final Predictions For 2010
Washington - The final round of public polls brings us to prediction time: In Senate contests, while three states remain well within toss-up range, Democrats currently lead by at least nominal margins in sufficient seats to maintain a 51-seat majority. Our estimates based on polls conducted in 125 individual U.S. House races project Republican gains of 48 seats, more than enough for majority control, although the aggregate of national polling on "generic" House vote preference suggests an even...

Reid Wins in Nevada, Dashing GOP Hopes of Capturing Senate
Nevada Sen. Harry Reid won a tough re-election fight on Tuesday in a race that proved extra-sweet for him and his Party, as it enabled Democrats to block a potential Republican takeover of the U.S. Senate and allowed the Majority Leader to keep his post. Reid was winning with 51 percent of the vote against Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle, who had 44 percent. Reid's return to the Senate gives him a fifth term but a diminished Majority, as Republicans picked up at least six seats. The only races ...

Craps: AP Calls It for Reid
Sen. Harry Reid (D.) is projected to cling to his seat in Nevada. He leads Republican Sharron Angle 50.8 percent to 44.5 percent — some 32,000 votes — with 41 percent of precincts reporting. If the lead holds, it represents a major victory for Democrats on an otherwise bad night. Now, the question remains. Reid keeps his seat, but does he keep his job? We have lived in Northern Nevada for almost 40 years. The rural counties have not tallied votes yet. It's not a guaranteed win for Re...

Murkowski Would Caucus With GOP
Politico writes: Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski told Politico unequivocally that she plans to Caucus with the Republican Party if she wins her write-in campaign Tuesday. “I have caucused with the Republicans in the past; I will be caucusing with the Republicans when I go back in January,” said Murkowski in a phone interview, responding to recent news reports speculating about whether she’d buck the party and comments Murkowski made over the weekend saying that, if elected, she would represen

Why liberals and the establishment fear a Joe Miller win
I never thought Alaska will be such a pinnacle in the Election cycle, but the state has turned out to be so vital in this Election Day. We have a battle on our hands over the direction of not only this country, but of the republican Party. Although the NRSC claims to have Joe Miller’s back, we know better. Not stripping Lisa Murkowski of her duties in the Senate, as well as backbiting, anonymous leaks of giving up on Miller, is indicative of how much the establishment fears the man. Sarah ...

Joe Miller: Rand Paul win is a mandate
Rand Paul, the optomologist and Libertarian leaning, Sarah Palin-endorsed early on, was the first big win for the Tea Party movement election night. The Tea Party supported his message of limited government, a Balanced Budget, term limits, and no spending. He gave a great and brief Speech envoking the greatness of America and the beauty of our capitalist system, which liberal Washington was glad to forget. Paul is one man you will not question on his principles nor his votes. You know where he s...
