But it finishes the Sarah Palin slaying of the dominate family in Alaska politics

Millers acceptance statement (http://joemiller.us/press/miller-statement-on-gop-nomination).

excerpt;

I need to thank others who provided vital support to this campaign including Governor Sarah Palin, Governor Mike Huckabee, and the Tea Party movement. I'd also like to thank current and former state officials including Lt. Governor Loren Leman, Senators Fred Dyson and John Coghill, and Representatives Wes Keller and Tammy Wilson. Additionally, I'd also like to thank national conservative leaders and our local voices here in Alaska, Dan Fagan, Glenn Biegel, and Michael Dukes. But without our incredible volunteer network, this victory could not have been possible. They worked day and night to ensure success in this race. Thank you!

Now is the time for all Alaskans to come together and reach out with our core message of taking power from the federal government and bringing it back home to the people. If we continue to allow the federal government to live beyond its means, we will all soon have to live below ours.
I like his core message. The Fed's have to be stopped.

Now the RINO incumbents are just as afraid as the dems. Got one in Utah in an earlier primary. Roll on......

Hopefully, you are kidding.

The biggest joke is that Alaska gets two senators. I'm guessing the founding fathers had no idea at the time how much that law was going to cost us.

Ralph, your sense of what's fair and my sense of what's fair don't agree very often.

As usual, another insightful post. OK, wiseguy, tell me why a state with a population of around 700,00 (about .002% of the total U.S. population) should have 2% of the U.S. senators in Congress.

Good luck. :rolleyes:

Because the founders saw the wisdom of having two in case one is incapacitated.

Those who have actually studied in areal school know that the Senate is NOT based on population, as it is the branch that represents STATES, not people, you know, as in the United STATES?

Another little known fact, Alaska was CHOSEN to be part of the nation, while New Jersey was pretty much forced on us because it was right in the middle of everything back then. :rolleyes::D

Good luck. :rolleyes:As I am sure you know, each state gets representation in the House based om population. The Senate has two members per state as a balance. Many of us still hold States Rights to be important, highly important. The Alaska senators are just as important as those from CA or NY. Yes, this was a big win.
