ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The Republican candidate who defeated U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski in Alaska's primary election has been cited for his role in a recent three-car collision in Fairbanks. Joe Miller was involved in the crash in his hometown three days after the Aug. 24 election and before the conservative lawyer's surprise victory in the tight race was confirmed last week in the counting of thousands of absentee votes and questioned ballots. Murkowski conceded Aug. 31 to Miller, whose campaign is backed by former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and the Tea Party Express. Alaska State Troopers said Miller's vehicle rear-ended a vehicle driven by Denali Park resident James Raisis, who then rear-ended a car driven by Mark Lewis of Fairbanks. Miller was cited last week with failing "to exercise due care to avoid a collision" in the Aug. 27 wreck on Geist Road. Troopers said no one was hurt in the collision, although Lewis said he had some cervical stiffness and numbness in some fingers. Lewis also was cited — with stopping on a highway. Miller's campaign manager, Robert Campbell, said Monday he doesn't think Miller will challenge the citation. Campbell said Miller was two cars back and had no time to avoid the collision after the middle vehicle braked suddenly behind the first car, which was at a "completely dead stop." He said Miller, 43, was traveling at only 35 mph. "Anytime you hit the guy in front of you, it's assumed you were going too fast, without taking into account any conditions or any extraneous actions around you," Campbell said. He noted Lewis also had some culpability. "If Mr. Lewis was not at fault, he would not have been cited," he said. Lewis, 49, said he plans to contest the citation. He said he was making a left turn and had his signal on when his sedan was struck. Lewis said he believes the citation was issued because troopers gave "a lot of weight" to claims by the middle driver that he was straddling the turn and travel lanes. Lewis acknowledged the sun was shining right in everybody's eyes, and said he couldn't say whether the middle driver was correct. "I just can't see how it could have happened the way he said. But then again, you know, there are anomalies in life," Lewis said. Raisis, the middle driver, did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.

Another republican caught in a rear ending...dog bites man...
Big deal. Now, if he had driven his car off of a one lane bridge into 14 foot deep water and a blond female aid drowned...why he could seize the mantel 'Lion of the Senate!' (laughing)

Ok, aspergers boy, you've reached your quota of boring repetitive posts on this site for the day. Go away now and come back tomorrow and give us your mundane opinion one more time. One more time. One more time.
"Were you ever in the music or song writing business?" ... e_type_jagoff to Mudboy lol ..... AND ....... "But his decent into vile absurdity is still actually kind of sad and pitiful really" .... mad doggie
You demonstrate daily you offer nothing to the site, pussy.

ROFLMAO...
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
BTW, they must be ramping up the hate @ Boof's site - gopqueefingroom.com [even tho he's a self-proclaimed "independent", don't you know?] - as i can no longer include that in my morning round of comedy from here at work. It's blocked as a hate site.

I think kicking your aspergers ass around at least once a day is a great service to this site.

He's got a great story to tell the judge. He'd just left the SaraPAC funded victory party, the morning sun was in his bloodshot eyes, and he was on his way to an interview with the Wall Street Journal, then some peasants got in his way.
(laughing) If that ever occurs - hasn't yet - we'll see, pussy.

It won't, Abdul is too busy collecting little boys.
I don't what his issue is, I just know its nothing but juvenile bullshit every day. I've never seen a post from him 'on topic'.
