The Republican Party of Alaska issued a statement late this afternoon calling the U.S. Senate election for Lisa Murkowski, and calling on challenger Joe Miller to "to respect the will of the voters and end his campaign in a dignified manner." Here's the statement: ALASKA REPUBLICANS RESPOND TO SENATE RACE RESULTS Anchorage, Alaska—The Alaska Republican Party today congratulates Senator Lisa Murkowski on her victory in Alaska’s U.S. Senate race. Murkowski has pulled significantly ahead of Joe Miller in unchallenged write-in ballots and has a sizable lead in total counted ballots. “At this point we are comfortable calling this race,” said Alaska Republican Party Chairman Randy Ruedrich. “Lisa has won. We congratulate Lisa on her victory.” The Alaska Republican Party stands ready to embrace Lisa Murkowski as Alaska’s only Republican U.S. Senator. Joe Miller earned the Republican Party nomination for US Senate in August. “We commend Joe for running an energetic campaign,” said Ruedrich. This campaign season has been trying on Alaska’s citizens. In addition to the normal drama that elections bring, Alaskan’s have lost their two greatest senior statesmen in Wally Hickel and Ted Stevens. “Alaskans need to begin coming to terms with all that has happened,” said Ruedrich. “This was a free and fair election. It is now time to look forward. We call on Joe Miller to respect the will of the voters and end his campaign in a dignified manner. We have every expectation that Joe will do the right thing.”

Like Lisa did after the primary? If I were Joe, I'd say, stick it where the sundoesn't shine, azzholes!
I have no problem with him waiting for the Military vote to be counted, before he concedes. It does kind of make the Alaska GOP look bad, to be kissing up to Murkowski so soon. Makes it look like all they care about is the R.
Frank and Lisa Murkowski along with the AFN make the Alaska GOP look bad.
That's EXACTLY what it boils down to... The pubbie party is just as corrupt as the lib/socialist party. Thinking otherwise is a mistake. The Alasshole GOP couldn't STAND the idea that their *anointed* candidate failed in the primary, so they made it a war. R vs. D, it's all the same shit... A crooked crony system. Or, as George Carlin said, "it's a club, and you ain't in it."
Getting tired of the bozoed calcon following me around on the 'net, wanting to discuss "tossing salad." Sorry, you sick rump-ranger. NOT interested.
Hopefully she doesn't have long to live.
