By Miss KubelikOkay, Claude Rains he isn't. But since we cats are doubtful that Lisa Murkowski will be able to catch Joe Miller in the ballot-counting race — she still trails by more than 1,200 votes — this dude could soon be the other Senator from the state of Alaska.
Unless, of course, something happens.
Like what, you ask? Well, we cats are, as you know, curious souls. And this Miller guy is more than just a right-wing whack job. Seriously, just look at him. You know that he's got to have some nefariousness in his past. Sexual? Financial? Drug-related? The sky could be the limit.
Our first question is whether the Murkowski people did any successful opposition research on Miller, which their high-minded candidate — who foolishly declined to go negative — refused to let them use.
Our second question is whether a defeated Lisa Murkowski will agree to share whatever Miller information she has with Democrat Scott McAdams.
We cats realize there are a lot of "ifs" in that scenario, and that McAdams is a longshot. But this is why we're always in favor of fielding candidates everywhere and anywhere, even in seemingly hopeless races. You never know when the folks on the other side will get caught in bed with a sheep — or nominate somebody the Republican establishment doesn't want. Like Joe Miller.
UPDATE: Lisa Murkowski has thrown in the towel. We cats are struck that the media pay tremendous attention when a sitting Senator — like Specter, Bennett, and now Murkowski — gets booted, but seem far less interested in John Cornyn's sorry list of non-incumbent primary candidates creamed by his party's right-wing insurgents.
