When last we left the sordid Senate saga in Alaska, the NRSC had flown its top lawyer to Anchorage to help Sen. Lisa Murkowski try to steal the election from Joe Miller.

After A Brief ‘Reagan Tribute’ On
The Couch, Thoughts Return To
‘Restoring Honor’

by Smitty First, one should offer some shouts to fellow bloggers: Sorry to the TD of the Washington Rebel that my phone battery ran out, and we couldn’t get back together.

And at least one top national LP official isn’t afraid to […]

EXCLUSIVE: Murkowski’s Libertarian Effort Is Led by Longtime Palin Enemy

Early Wednesday morning, Alaska Libertarian Party chairman Scott Kohlhaas got a call from ex-Republican Andrew Halcro, asking if Kohlhaas would be open to having Sen.

EXCLUSIVE: Alaska LP Senate Candidate Dave Haase Is ‘Huge Sarah Palin Fan’

Libertarian Party sources in Anchorage say they’ve been deluged with phone calls today from media and “political types” asking about the LP line on the ballot, which is Lisa Murkowski’s only hope to remain in the Senate unless her NRSC lawyer can find a way to steal the GOP nomination from Joe Miller.
