New poll shows Alaskans must vote their values AND their fears - The Mudflats

[Blue_In_AK]

Excellent analysis of the latest PPP poll on Alaska's Senate race at The Mudflats. http://www.themudflats.net/2010/11/01/voices-from-the-flats-new-poll-shows-alaskans-must-vote-their-values-and-their-fears/ This is the dilemma we're facing. I'm heading out to the McAdams office this afternoon for a last-minute telephone push to the Democrats and independents who earlier indicated that they were leaning toward Lisa to try to bring them back to their senses.

In an alternate Universe, Lisa Murkowski listened to her wiser angels and did not run a write in. She then pursued a higher calling, along the lines of post-politician Fran Ulmer, and Lisa found a sinecure in an academic bunker and lived happily ever after. In that same alternate universe, Scott McAdams faced off with Joe Miller, conducted an effective persuasion and attack campaign and went on to win the U.S. Senate seat by roughly the combined anti-Miller vote of THIS universe, beating Miller 63% to 37%. McAdams goes on to become a great U.S. Senator and a fixture of Alaskan politics for decades to come.

But alas, this is our universe and, as we know too well, Lisa Murkowski didn’t listen to her angels—she shut them out in favor of a lot of vested interests and lobbyists who, according to her version of events, talked her into running a write in campaign. A new poll is now saying that Lisa’s noble experiment is most likely doomed and that the main beneficiary of her failure may be her nemesis Joe Miller.

MURKOWSKI’S CAMPAIGN IS NOW AIDING MILLER.

Again, from the analysis accompanying the survey:

The high numbers of voters who like McAdams, dislike Miller, and are voting for
Murkowski place the race in a whole different light than has been thought of the last few months. Murkowski’s campaign, rather than propping herself up at the expense of Miller, may actually end up propping Miller up at the expense of McAdams. (Emphasis Added)

MURKOWSKI VOTERS MUST SWITCH TO McADAMS TO STOP MILLER.

$2 Million worth of campaign bathwater has been mixed with another million dollars of ANCSA Corporate Kool-Aid. This much juice makes a powerful concoction. The challenge to Democratic and Moderate Murkowski supporters is: can you stop drinking this patent medicine and snap out of it before the polls close on Tuesday? Alaska’s future depends upon it.

The PPP polling makes the truth obvious to all who have eyes to see and ears to hear. Scott McAdams will continue to rise, but he must get the support of Lisa Murkowski voters to beat Joe Miller.

It is absolutely critical that we all vote for Scott McAdams. Under these circumstances, a revision to the McAdams Campaign theme is in order. To those Democrats and Moderates considering a write-in vote for Lisa Murkowski, please…vote your values AND your fears; vote for Scott McAdams.
