Lisa Murkowski kneecaps Sarah Palin and stomps on Joe Miller
I’ll admit my bias here: my wife once worked at Lisa’s dad’s bank — that said this article is right on in pointing out the difference between an adult professional public servant and juvenile professional populists.
The write-in reelection of Sen. Lisa Murkowski is a sterling example of what happens when a heavyweight professional does some serious work on lightweight opponents. While the major media and certain right-wing pundits have a fetish about Sarah Palin and try to take Joe Miller seriously, Murkowski took care of business, pulled up her sleeves and did some serious work.
For the last week, poor Miller looked like a dazed prizefighter being pummeled by a heavyweight opponent. What was most interesting was how Murkowski, once she disposed of Miller, turned her attention to Palin and did some more serious work.
