8. Dignified manner is not in the Teabagger vocabulary

When Miller tried to get votes for Mirkowski and Murkowsky disqualified, I knew we had a sore loser on our hands.

9. Fight Joe, Fight!

Would your political mentor, Sarah Palin, quit?

Okay, bad example.

10. Of Course the GOP wants Miller to not have the

number of ballots compared to the number of voters, that would uncover GOP cheating.

Not that I'm for Miller, he smells worse that a wet dog. But the vagueries in the Alaska vote counting/actual voters and other oddities are famous and need to see the light of day.

19. Imagine how quickly they'd change their tune if Murkowski announced she was becoming a Democrat

I have no expectation of her ever doing so, but it's fun to imagine their instantaneous swivel.
