This Would Be Fun To Watch

Here's a potentially bloody primary fight that I'd like to see:

Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski has some Republican-to-Republican advice for Gov. Sarah Palin: If you want to make a run at the White House, keep your hands off my Senate seat.

Murkowski, up for reelection in 2010, is nervously awaiting word on whether John McCain’s former running mate will run against her in the GOP primary. But she says Palin is the one who should be nervous.

"I can guarantee it would be a very tough election," Murkowski said in an interview.   [...]

Asked Monday to respond to Murkowski’s comments, Palin’s communications coordinator, Kate Morgan, said only, "The governor has never stated her intention or desire to run for that office."

Nice non-denial there, eh?

And while some, including Murkowski, say that a Senator Palin would cost Alaska senate seniority, a Democratic pollster says that:

Sarah is interested in what is best for Sarah, and she is not necessarily going to get sidetracked by party loyalties.

Darn right!
