Lisa Murkowski wants to find way to run against Palin minion Miller who defeated her in GOP primary

Run, Lisa, Run! Let vengeance be thine! (and steal votes from the GOP!) :bounce:

Senator Lisa Murkowski, who was defeated in the Republican primary in Alaska last month, said Tuesday that she was exploring ways to run in the general election, including as a write-in candidate or as a Libertarian.

Ms. Murkowski spent more than an hour Tuesday with David Haase, the Libertarian Party’s Senate nominee, and discussed the possibility of his allowing her to replace him on the ballot. It was unclear whether such a switch would happen, but Ms. Murkowski, who has about $1 million in her campaign account, also signaled that she could pursue a write-in candidacy.

She lost the primary to Joe Miller, a lawyer from Fairbanks, by about 2,000 votes.

“What I’m looking at is my state and the future of my state for my kids,” Ms. Murkowski told The Associated Press. “So, I have not made that determination that I’m going to give up. I’m not a quitter, never have been. And I’m still in this game.”

A spokesman for her Senate campaign, Steve Wackowski, said that she had received an outpouring of support, but “the decision has not been made to run.”

1. This actually surprises me and I hope she does indeed run.
It would tickle me to no end to have TWO Democratic Senators.. Now if only we could somehow get rid of that dinosaur Don Young...
