The Ruling Class doesn’t want to give up power:
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (I-AK) will run for re-election as a write-in candidate after losing her bid for renomination, according to sources briefed on Murkowski’s decision.
Murkowski’s decision will set up a 3-way battle between the incumbent, Miller and Sitka Mayor Scott McAdams (D), potentially turning the race on its head. Private 3-way polling has shown Miller leading, but by a narrow margin…
She needs to be immediately stripped of her committee assignments and forbidden to caucus with the GOP. This is a complete betrayal of all Republicans, everywhere – seeing Alaska as the merest means of getting herself in to elite circles in DC, she can’t get over the fact that the party is over, the people have rejected her. And now she’s unmasked herself as a self-absorbed, establishment back-stabber.
Democrats, if you want her, you can have her…but I’d warn that once she knifes one side in the back, she’s likely to do it to anyone foolish enough to befriend her.
UPDATE: The best answer we Republicans can give to this is to support Joe Miller. Whatever you can give or do.
UPDATE II: From Professor Jacobson:
We were right.
Charlie Crist, Mike Castle, now Lisa Murkowski.
We have proven our point.
All of those who said that we should back the RINO because its good politics – this is your answer: its not a surprise that these people have betrayed us. That is what RINOs do – they live for their chance to buddy up to their fellows in the Ruling Class at the expense of the people. The events of the 2010 primary season have just made this fact unmistakable.
