What’s the Air Fare to Anchorage? UPDATE: Miller Campaign ‘Urgently’ Seeks Funds to Fight Murkowski Recount

Yesterday I told you the NRSC advised Lisa the Loser to “go negative” on Joe Miller. And today we learn that John Cornyn’s National RINO Subversive Conspiracy has sent lawyers to Anchorage to try to steal the election from Joe: Sean Cairncross, the general counsel of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, is headed to […]
