If Miller somehow beats Murkowski and Begich decides to jump back in, this race has a potential to be a toss-up, I think. Who wins in this scenario?

As 2010 showed, Miller sucks at winning recounts.

Ah, but we're assuming Murkowski also isn't the ballot, right?

Begich would have beat Miller in 2014, 2016 would be even easier.


Irrelevant of course, because Joe Miller is not going to win a primary any time soon.

Write In: Murkowski winning back-to-back write ins

I'm not sold she'd do that twice...especially if Begich was the Democratic nominee...he'd be tougher competition than McAdams.

Why can't we have both Begich and Murkowski back? Alaska had such great Senate representation, but they had to go and mess it up.

If Stevens would have retired, Begich never would have been Senator. The Palin wave in the state would have assured that as it almost dragged Stevens back in despite the indictment.

Begich wins head to head, Miller wins a three way. Democrats are not going to settle for big oild Lisa when they can have Begich instead. Conservative and Libertarian Republicans would support Miller. Somethine like 36% Miller, 33% Begich, 31% Murkowski. This assumes that Republicans get back to 60% in 2012 without Romney, and Murkowski still has some Dem support but not anywhere close to 2010 levels.

Begich isn't running for office. He's quite happy with his new lobbying gig.

As much as I hate to admit it, he has a point. Begich doesn't seem likely to run after just losing a bitter campaign. Senate comebacks are pretty rare, and Russ Feingold seems to be staging this cycle's best one.

Not with an actual Democrat running.

Is there any chance Murkowski might get so sick of the Tea Party that she might actually leave the GOP?
