Sen. Lisa Murkowski Concedes Alaska Republican Primary for Senate - NYTimes link

[Mira]

Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska conceded late Tuesday in her
Republican primary race to Joe Miller, a lawyer from
Fairbanks backed by Tea Party activists, Sarah Palin and
other conservatives.

Mr. Miller shocked the political establishment here and in
Washington last week when he emerged with a narrow lead,
1,668 votes, after the primary vote, on Aug. 24.

Mr. Miller, who had trailed badly in local polls in the weeks
before the election, benefited from a last-minute flood of
advertisements, mailings and automated calls casting Ms.
Murkowski as a Democrat in disguise. An abortion-related
ballot measure also brought conservatives to the polls.

3. Well, that's just great for the conservatives.

I wonder if Mr. Miller believes that all women must be virgins when they get married, and if they aren't, they must be killed.

Freaks. Circus side shows. That's what the conservatives have running for office.
