Murkowski concedes GOP Senate race in Alaska (MSNBC - 9/1/10)

ANCHORAGE — Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski was booted from office in the Republican primary Tuesday by a little-known conservative lawyer backed by former governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, in arguably America's biggest political upset of the year.

I feel bad for Murkowski, but I think this shows Palin's support still has power in Alaska. 

Not sure about the biggest upset this year though.  I still think Scott Brown taking Kennedy's seat was the biggest one and it set the stage for upsets like this one.

I just hope these ultra conservatives don't last long. If Hillary does become POTUS in 2012, she'll have to deal with these wingnuts.

I would love to see Murkowski run as an independent.  I think we need the moderates of each party to bail out in order to form a viable third party in this nation. 

Murkowski would be a good starting point...especially for women.  She broke with the Republicans when it came to women's issues.

I hope she runs as an Indy, too.

It's so counterproductive for our government to swing from far left to far right - or the other way around, every 2-4 years. So much time is spent undoing what the previous group did, nothing positive ever gets accomplished. It's time for a viable third party.
