With only 4 days remaining until the primary, Miller's opponents, Mead Treadwell and Dan Sullivan, upon hearing the news and realizing they each had dodged a bullet, high-fived and broke out a six-pack.







Now back to our regulary scheduled program, "The Ferguson Diaries".

I'm trying to remember if she officially backed him when he beat Murkowski in the GOP primary a few years back.

I think she stayed out of that one given the history between herself and Murkowski's dad, whom she beat to become Governor.

You remember incorrectly.

"Sarah Palin endorses Lisa Murkowski primary foe "

"Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has endorsed Joe Miller in the state’s Republican Senate primary, spurning sitting Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski. "

"“I’m proud to join so many other long-time Alaskans in supporting Joe Miller in the upcoming Alaska Republican primary,” Palin added. “

It's worthless. Miller has no chance.

Begich will lose to either Treadwell or Sullivan though. Most likely Sullivan, he's put 100% effort into this thing.

Former Bush State Dept official.

Yeah, he's really playing up his ties to Condoleezza Rice. He's also the former Commish. of DNR in Ak and forerm Atty. General. I think he's the next Senator.

Treadwell is probably the most qualified, but is kind of socially awkward. I've met both a quite a few times and both er genuinely nice people.

Begich has strong Alaska ties, his father disappeared with Louisiana Rep. Boggs in a plane from Anchorage to Juneau, and he's former Mayor of Anchorage. He also never graduated college. Didn't know that til he came to our place of business a month ago.
