This ad makes me, a liberal, want to send a check to Lisa Murkowski. The premise of the ad is a lie. Murkowski's Dad, as Governor, did have the right to appoint his replacement in the Senate. And he chose his own daughter.
The ad says "the seat wasn't his to give away." Actually it was.
Then she went on to win election in 2004 and rose quickly in the ranks of Republican power, and is one of the most effective Republicans in Congress. I don't agree with her environmental positions, but she has brought home the bacon for Alaska.
I don't think Alaskans are in general as extreme as Sarah Palin and Joe Miller. Right now Murkowski's write-in campaign is polling within the margin of tying Joe Miller. That type of campaign is very difficult to win, but she could do it.
