Murkowski to announce decision on write-in run

[joeybee12]

JUNEAU, Alaska — Alaskans will soon know whether U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski will mount a write-in candidacy in an effort to hold onto her seat.

She plans a late-day announcement in Anchorage.

Murkowski lost the GOP primary last month to Joe Miller, a self-described constitutional conservative who had the support of Sarah Palin and the Tea Party Express. The California-based group reported spending more than $550,000 in support of Miller and vowed to work twice as hard to beat Murkowski if she ran as a write-in.

Murkowski has said she's considered re-entering the race because of an outpouring of encouragement from Alaskans. She said she feels a responsibility to the state and believes success is possible.

2. She's telegraphed her intentions and it's not good for McAdams.

I hope I'm reading this preannouncement incorrectly, but I'll eat my shorts if she doesn't run.

Damnit!
