But Lisa Murkowski, the Alaska Republican who was upset in last month's US Senate primary, plans to mount a write-in campaign for the general election. She says she will make history. She'll only succeed in making a complete fool of herself.
Joe Miller has the full support of the state and national GOP.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says it's time for Murkowski to "move on."
In a press release, the Tea Party Express, which Murkowski labeled "an outside extremist group," was more forceful in their opppostion.
The Tea Party Express (website: www.TeaPartyExpress.org) issued the following statement in response to defeated Sen. Lisa Murkowski's decision to defy the will of Alaska's voters and mount a desperate write-in campaign:"Lisa Murkowski just doesn't get it. Part of the voter frustration with her was the sense of entitlement she has had for the Senate seat gifted to her by her father.The Tea Party Express reminds the media that it closed out its campaign for Joe Miller by spending significant sums of money to air this TV ad pointing out the arrogance of the Murkowski dynasty in thinking this seat belonged to them instead of the people:
"Apparently Lisa Murkowski is not done playing with the toy her daddy gifted to her in 2002.
"The problem is, this isn't a toy that a father gives to his daughter. It's a U.S. Senate seat that belongs to 'We The People' and the people have spoken and already rejected Murkowski's candidacy in 2010."
