breaking: Judge rules against Miller in Alaska Senate race

[spanone]

JUNEAU, Alaska — A judge on Friday ruled against Republican Joe Miller's lawsuit challenging how Alaska counted write-in votes for rival Lisa Murkowski in their Senate race, delivering another setback to the tea party-backed

candidate in his longshot legal fight.

Judge William Carey's ruling is virtually certain to be appealed to the state Supreme Court, and he said his decision wouldn't take effect until Tuesday to give Miller time to do so.

A Miller spokesman said a statement was forthcoming.

The ruling marks a victory for Murkowski in her historic write-in Senate bid. Senators are scheduled to be sworn in Jan. 5, and the legal dispute has thrown into doubt whether someone from Alaska will be included.

1. Murkowski is a piece of slime,

and Alaska's elections are not clean. I'm no Miller fan, but I'm glad he's taken this on.

2. Well let's see if Miller uses those good ole' 2nd Amendment remedies.
