Tea Party Claims Another Scalp
Pro-abort incumbent Lisa Murkowski, apparently was defeated in the Republican primary in Alaska for the US Senate nomination by Palin endorsed pro-life Joe Miller, a tea party activist. This is the most stunning political upset thus far this season. Miller was widely viewed as a sure loser going into election night, especially by the internet Journal Slate which began a story on Monday with this opening: On Tuesday, in her home state, Sarah Palin’s favorite will probably get trounced. Joe Miller is widely expected to lose by a large margin to incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the Republican primary—an embarrassing defeat for the former governor, who has endorsed Miller, but also to Miller’s other major backer, the Tea Party Express. Go here to read this monument to far sighted political prognostication.

Here are other bits of wisdom from the author of the Slate piece.

This broad is the news director of a television station in Alaska, a position acquired after working at an opinion magazine. Fred Barnes said a while back that in his years at the Weekly Standard, he could scarcely recall a single member of the staff or intern who had been hired by an ordinary metropolitan newspaper. Funny how that works.
Political reporting in this country Art is mostly 90% “That is what I hope happens” and 10% “Well this is what the facts say”.
The dnc propaganda organ, you call it the media, spews 90% fiction to advance the mythical liberal narrative.
I just hope IF he wins I hope he can beat the Democrat.
The only time Alaska has elected a Democrat to Congress in the last 36 years was when the Republican was under indictment.
Miss Gutierrez offers her post-mortem here:

Some of the commenters proceed to hand her her ass.
I haven’t seen an exact tally of how many Tea Party candidates have won in the primaries, but I heard that not all of them have been as spectacular. However add a Sarah Palin endorsement and voila! Tea Party score. So is Palin the codeine in the Tea Party Tylenol?
I think she is the secret ingredient. The reason in short, IMHO, is that the Tea Party people are focused on economic issues, and I don’t fault them for that. But to put it bluntly, Palin brings God and Guns to the party. That completes the “Reagan coalition” on the issues.
Please disprove me on this if I am off; as I said, I don’t have an exact tally.
Pauli, her endorsement of Clint Didier didn’t help him beat out Dino Rossi to win the primary here in Washington state.
Dino Rossi. Yeah, sounds like a good fella. Maybe he can fit Patty Murray with a pair of concrete overshoes.
Either way, I ain’t sayin’ nothin’.
Dewey Defeats Truman!
