Sarah Palin Winning Like Charlie Sheen

Pay no attention to Karl Rove saying that Sarah Palin will run for President. A Dittman Research poll Palin's approval rating at 36 percent in her home state of Alaska. Palin's unfavorable rating is 61 percent. In a hysterical twist is Palin's arch-nemesis Lisa Murkowski has a godlike approval rating of 71 percent.

Winning!

Quote of the Day

"I don’t believe that there are votes sufficient in the Senate to repeal health care reform….We’re in this situation where there is some messaging going on…The real question is how much time do we as a Congress spend on this messaging? We’ve got a situation where our economy continues to be in the tank, the longest extended period of high unemployment since World War II….As important as making sure that we’re reigning in our health care costs — spending a lot of time on the messaging vote? I don’t think that’s what the American public wants us to do. …I don’t think what people want is kind of the messaging that’s going on."

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)

Murkowski doesn't support Affordable Health Choices Act. Murkowski wants to change the the bill. If push came to shove she would vote to repeal. It is noteworthy that Murkowski calls out her Republican colleagues for message and not actual policies that move the country forward.

Murkowski Leads Miller in Final Poll

Joe Miller is one of the few people that could make me root for Lisa Murkowski. I am no fan of Murkowski. However, Miller's behavior has been so bizarre that he has shown himself unfit for office. Hotline On Call reports Murkowski leads Miller 37 percent to 27 percent in a Dittman Research & Communications poll. The fact that a write-in candidate get that much of the vote shows people don't feel confident in Miller's abilities and with good reason. The question is will voters write Murkowski's name in.
