Way Up North: Alaska Libertarians Say NO to Murkowski

From the Anchorage Daily News website, this excerpt:

From Sean Cockerham in Anchorage --

The Alaska Libertarian Party will not consider allowing Lisa Murkowski on its ticket for the U.S. Senate race, party chairman Scott Kohlhaas told me this morning. Kohlhaas said Murkowski's positions do not reflect the values of the Libertarian Party.

The five-member executive committee of the party had an emergency meeting yesterday to discuss it and came to a unanimous decision.

Kohlhaas said Murkowski or her campaign staffers never approached the party about running as a Libertarian but that there'd been so much speculation that party officials decided to act.

"Let's put this to rest; it's not happening," Kohlhaas said.

So much for that. A PPP poll released yesterday indicated that Miller would edge past Murkowski in a three-way race, anyway.
