Election crazies in Alaska

Image via WikipediaElection time again in the USA. I'm out in Alaska, and for the first time am getting to see a three person race for the first hand.
As you can see from my previous posts - I'm not much of a fan of Joe Miller and the Tea Baggers. But the shear lack of rational thought among a large number of his supporters lead me to believe most of them are really only interested in one issue - abortion. Otherwise their talking points regarding finance and international relations wouldn't be so shallow and undependable.

The second candidate, is from one of Alaska's best known but not always popular families. Lisa Murkowski has raised millions of dollars from out of State donors - like Joe Miller. She is in the middle of the fight - her niche with the Republicans had been with women and choice. But voters have a much better choice there - and are moving...

To Scott McAdams, who is surging this morning. Last night Rachel Maddow flew in to see the excitement in person, as well as to talk with the other canidates. The feeling was electric - and Lisa has responded in kind with negative ads featuring McAdams homey residents. I'm not much of a TV watcher and thus haven't seen it but I would guess the Miller camp is cheering this morning.

But I think Miller will pull it out - giving Alaskans and the rest of the US a humorous but deadly sad target for the next four years as his demogogaury frightens the less educated - as he gets traction on his one real item - taking reproductive rights away from women in banning abortions.
