AK-R2000/DailyKos: Palin Would Defeat Murkowski in Senate GOP Primary

[Lunar]

It would be poetic for Palin to primary both Murkowski's.

Palin would scare me more in the Senate, but she would add some amusement.

Usually the reason not to trust it is because Alaskans have lately loved the goddamned GOP brand beyond belief, no?

I mean, it took an epic scandal and 7 guilty counts in a federal court for Stevens to barely lose. 

My skepticism over Alaska is that I don't think Alaskans will accept a conservative Democrat in opposition to Murk.  In most of the South, I suspect that someone in Murk's situation would be toast to someone like Musgrove or Pryor or Nelson. 

Like, I think it might be possible that Idaho or Utah would be more willing to jettison an unpopular (read: hated but no convictions) GOP senator than Alaska... 

Reid better let Begich bring home massive bacon
