Two endorsements Wednesday boosted U.S. Senate candidate Mike Miller in his bid for the Republican nomination: former Anchorage Mayor Tom Fink joined his campaign as state chairman, and Alaska Right to Life announced that its board voted unanimously to support him.

At a press conference in Anchorage where he was flanked by Fink and two Alaska Right to Life officials, Miller said their support, along with that of former Wasilla Mayor Sarah Palin, who endorsed him earlier, "carries a lot of weight with Republicans throughout the state."

Miller is facing Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the Aug. 24 Republican primary. He acknowledged he would be outspent by Murkowski, whom he called the "establishment" candidate, but vowed he would not be outworked.

Justin Stiefel, Murkowski's campaign manager, said neither endorsement was a surprise.

1. Good make her spend some of her money against Republicans

I am so sick of hearing her ads played almost daily. She may not even be all that bad. Better than her father anyway but I want Knowles who is a very conservative Democrat in just to give the Democrats another seat. When she was in the legislature she was pretty balanced so I hope she ends up the candidate but loses to Knowles.

2. exactly!

I used to call him Tony "stab me in the back" Knowles (his position on native issues were not to my likeing). I will still vote for him, just so we can try to get control of the Senate.

3. In the ADN on Sunday, the Ear has floated the rumor

that LG Leman will toss his support to Miller, as well.

Love that "who knows" Repuke party. However, I think Miller would be way, way worse than Lisa.
