Of course, a 5 – 6% error rate would not make 41% turn into 34.3% but rather 40.5%.

Very interesting situation to see how write-ins are handled. Our state doesn't allow it as it is all done electronically. Names of Polish origins are difficult to spell anyway so the court may allow some leeway on any mispellings, if any, despite the fact voters were given a list of write-in at the polls.

Republican “hanging chad” on the diagonal opposite corner of the country! LOL!

Miller is grasping at straws. How many people whose name closely resembles Lisa Murkowski are running for the U.S. Senate in Alaska?

It would be a little less (~39%) than that but still plenty. Anyway, don't confuse the teabaggers with facts.

Enough already Joe! Go Moose hunting and take Sister Sarah with you! but watch out for those Mama grizzlies; two in particular, Angle and O'Donnell. They are particularly dangerious!!!

“The Miller camp gave no response when the paper asked where it had obtained the figure……”

You don't think the Miller camp would LIE…. do you?

Thrilled it will be a Republican senator either way.

ANONYBOY:

Your math is correct- if 5 or 6% error rate is applied to write-ins ballots – Lisa Murkowski has 39% of the vote. That said, Joe Miller should concede. But can you really blame him for not stepping aside, But is Joe Miller not rushing to congratulate Murkowski really what’s wrong here ?

Your math is correct ( I guess you can use excel) , but being a liberal you don’t understand FACTS. Let’s look at where and when protocol was not followed and rules were broken…

First protocol, Joe Miller won the Republican Primary. The Republican party elite did not back Joe – opening the door for a back room deal with Murkowski. One problem though, Lisa Murkowski told the voters of Alaska during her primary campaign that she would stand-by the results of the primary. No problem – Murkowski didn’t win reverse course -that was a LIE. The truth is only required if you are a conservative right ? A LIE – not a problem if you are a liberal. Isn’t that right Lisa Murkowski /William Jefferson Clinton ? For those liberals with short memories that’s Bill Clinton of the “I did not have s## with that women” White House Reality show).

Next, Murkowski (back room deal fresh in hand) declared as an independent bucked the process and undercut her party’s (or is it her party ?) primary winner and entered the race.

Finally, because of her elite status Murkowski was able to basically get on the ballot with-out being on the ballot. How ? Never mind the law – Murkowski just got one of the liberal judges her daddy appointed to approve altering the write-in process by allowing a list of write-in names to be posted. This was NEVER allowed or done before. But that’s ok right, she’s Lisa Murkowski ? The rules don’t apply to her – the rules are for the “little people”. Murkowski thinks like every other socialist and liberal.

As an aside , I wonder – many Mexicans (oops !!I mean Canadians) did Lisa Murkowski bus in across the border to illegally vote ? Did any dead people vote for Lisa Murkowski ? I’m sure one of the many liberal judges her father appointed with support that too !

In regards to the truth… Is truth is only required if you are a conservative right ? Is a LIE – not a problem if you are a liberal ? Lisa Murkowski tells the voters of Alaska – that she will honor the primary results and doesn’t. How about the Media Darling President William Jefferson Clinton ? For those liberals with short memories that’s aka Reality TV Star Bill Clinton of the “I did not have s## with that women” White House Reality show).

I hope Alaska voters are happy – Murkowski is a Rino at best and LIBERAL for sure. Murkowski supports Obama Care –and I don’t want to pay for your healthcare !!).

But again – the problem is Joe Miller won’t step aside. They don’t seat the 112th congress until sometime in January 2011 – what’s the rush other than why pass up a chance to bash another “tea bagger”.

Face it Conservative0160, Murkowski kicked Miller's rear end fair and square. Perhaps the news that Miller lied about using his work computer for political purposes brought to light dishonesty that the average vioter wanted nothing to do with? You can snivel and be weird ((Mexicans (oops !!I mean Canadians) ) but best you save your energy to promote Palin for President – can't wait to see the quitter go down.

Here is why the non-Koolaide crowd ran from Miller – from the Anchorage Press:

“When the seals finally broke on the file, not much was revealed that anyone watching closely couldn’t predict. Miller had admitted wrongdoing, saying “I was an ass” during a meeting after being accused of accessing co-workers’ computers without permission. He had been politicking on the job—ginning a web poll’s results—and then lied about it when caught. He also admits to being under much pressure. Miller apparently kept himself so busy with his part-time borough position, his private clients and his political maneuvering to take over the Republican Party of Alaska, that his family life was suffering. ”

The weather is well for walking ,travelling and other activities .So we all need a new pair of shoes. I intend to buy myself a pair of Jordan shoes. My friends have given me some shops ,I have chosen one ,maybe you will give me some advice. The address is:

YOU MUST NOT MISS IT!!!

It's un-freaking-believable. I knew this guy was a sleazebucket from the start, this is just head-shaking.

But there is a world of difference between these two candidates. Murkowski is an honorable, hard-working politician with moderate Republican views. Miller is an extremist wing-nut who poses a social threat to the nation should he be given any kind of power.

“snivel and be weird” … As if there is no voter fraud in Alaska ? You are a liberal Democrat. When you're at a lose for facts …

I don't live in Alaska. I contributed to Joe Miller's campaign because I didn't like the way the lame stream media, insider Rino's (Republican in Name Only – just in case you don't get that ) and liberal drones treated him. My motivation was Murkowski’s arrogance and unwillingness to play by the rules. Ass kicked ? I think Miller beat Murkowski in the primary right ? But – Lisa with help from daddy's friends got a do-over.

Opened up files at work ? Wow !! I bet you he’s run a couple of read lights too !

We had a president (Clinton) treat the White House like a Frat house for 4 years and that’s Ok. In Connecticut they just elected a Democratic Senator (Blumenthal) who for years said he served in Viet Nam and didn’t but that’s OK. But Joe Miller… now he's a bad bad guy.

Is Lisa Murkowski Mother Teresa ? Based on her campaign tricks I would think not. She’s an elitist from a “ruling” family in Alaska right ? I guess as long as those government welfare checks keeping coming she the best !! You'll have free (let's wait and see) healthcare soon too !! Like magic noone has to pay !!! Seems unreal right ? Well it is – nothing is for free / someone has to pay. Just not you right !!

What Happens when Obama can't crank up the printing press in the white-house basment anymore ? Enjoy your beatiful state while you still can. Remember we bought it from Russia but sooner or later China will own it !!! Maybe the Chinese will let us get some of that good government cheese and crackers – because with dollars we won’t be able to buy anything.

Good night patriot1984 you have your Senator of choice – so you might as well go fishing tomorrow and the next day and the next day!!!

A surprising number of similar named candidates were running, Miller's campaign made sure of it by urging his supporters with close names to also run as write-ins.

They didn't provide a list like that, at least not at my polling place in Fairbanks; then again, there was a Joe Miller campaign trucked parked outside the front doors of the place for hours. When the poll-watchers where informed they did nothing, but the truck owner left – saying he was there only to cast his vote.

It's obvious you don't live in Alaska. I do. There was no posted list available at the polls in my town. What was at my polling place was a Joe Miller Campaign truck, for hours and hours, but I guess that's ok because it was for Miller right?

And since you don't live here why are you putting your money into our campaign? These people are elected to represent us – not you and your ideology. It's funny how much of Miller's money came from Outside, but not funny ha-ha.

Oh, by the way, just because an action may not be as bad as another possible action (ie. your comparison of Clinton & Miller) that doesn't make the lesser evil not evil. It's still wrong. Or do you not care about actual values?

And what welfare checks are you talking about? We have one of, if not the, best economies and unemployment rates of the country. Are you talking about our permanent fund dividend? If so, you should know the PFD was voted into place by Alaskans and paid for with Alaskan money, not federal government funds.

Just because you are Mr. Super-Conservative-I'm-Personal-Friends-with-both-Jesus-and Reagan don't assume you know what is going on up here. You don't. You just make your self look stupid and piss us off. But I still might go fishing tomorrow.

You have horrendous punctuation and grammar issues. It makes it hard for me to take you seriously, well that and the fact that you are a far-right nut job. Did you go to public schools? If so you should really reconsider your position on federal funding of education – you were left behind.

AK_Bush_Democrat,

I get it Murkowski won. My 1st post addresses that.

I'll skip all your other soft “stuff”" since you just ignored what Murkowski did. I get it she's your choice so everything she did in the campaign is ok.

Why did I contribute money to a campaign in Alaska ? Because the race was for “U.S” Senator not “State” Senator. Those are the guys and gals that go to Washington and affect all of us.

I'm not sure if you are aware of the fact that U.S. Senate votes on bills that affect all US Citizens. Maybe you heard of some of the recent bills they passed like Government Health Care.

Jesus Was a Scientologist : Your wit and sharp mind are amazing. You must belong to the teachers union. You and your sci-fi books are of the enlightened. Continue to grammar check postings and ignore the facts. Go back to your little si-fi world. Maybe there is some money on the stimulus bill for you … to just think and be you ! Ooooops sorry for the mutliple periods.

It’s always the same with tea baggers and/or the GOP. They all believe crap that doesn’t help them personally. The only ones that are helped by the takeover of the house are the mighty corporations and top 1% earners. How does the average fat white male gain anything from the policies that special interested want? Job security? No. More jobs? No. Less expensive health care? No. Fair tax policy for the middle class? No. It goes on and on. The only ones who benefit from the GOP are the same ones who caused the financial and housing crisis. The top 1%, who are taking all their money out of the economy. Not the stock market, however. They are not reinvesting in their own companies and society. They are putting all the capital in the market so they get richer and richer. Let’s face it, the middle class only really have their 401K, not millions in investments. I however, am glad the GOP won the house back. Now everyone will learn who are the real idiots, John Boehner and his new class of representatives. Let’s all cheer for the politicians. They are for sure my heroes. NOT on my life.

Miller and Murkowski build legal teams before ballot count in ……

Here at World Spinner we are debating the same thing……

I MUST ASK YOU SIR, HAVE YOU SERVED IN THE MILITARY AND IF SO, WHAT MEDALS HAVE YOU GARNED? THINK ALSO, SIR, WHO MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO RANT AND RAVE LIKE THE MEANDERINGS OF AN INTOXICATED INSECT? WHY DO WE, SIR, HAVE A SYSTEM OF PRIMARIES? YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.

Garned? May be if you type normally, your browser can spell check your stupidity for you.

Otherwise, what does serving in the military has to do with speaking ones mind? Are you insinuating that one has to serve in the military or win a primary in order to speak freely or compete to a political office, respectively? How many brain cells do you have? I think that should be the litmus test for being able to comment on the internet.

Next to inner city kids, ignorant hillbillies are the only other ones who are proud of their lack of ability to write correct and coherent sentences when they communicate. You know, learning to do things right is not a bad thing, whatever way you look at it. When it comes to writing, it really communicates clearly your level of intelligence, thus the seriousness in which others take your argument.
