Breaking news (and poll is from notoriously Republican leaning Rasmussen and a pro-Miller PAC):
"New polls out today from the national polling firm Rasmussen Reports and the Club for Growth, a pro-Miller political action committee, suggest Alaska’s U.S. Senate race remains basically a tossup.
The Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of 500 likely voters in Alaska found Joe Miller with 35 percent support and Lisa Murkowski at 34 percent, with Scott McAdams coming in at 27 percent support.
Rasmussen noted the problems in polling Murkowski’s support accurately. "Polling for write-in campaigns is always challenging, so results should be interpreted with caution," the pollster said.
The survey was Oct. 13 with margin of error of 4.5 percent...."

Update: McAdams just said his new word is "McSurge."
Boots on the ground analysis. The polls in Alaska are not keep up with this race. Miller is self-destructing daily. Murkowski is getting corporate money bomb. And McAdams keeps on chugging up the hill, relating well with Alaskans, as well as having now raised over $800,000.
It's a whole new ball game.
And the national media are finally catching on.
New York Magazine (Mid-term Snapshot by the Daily Intel):
In Alaska, GOP Senate nominee Joe Miller may want to spend less time picking out office furniture for his Senate office and more time worrying about the write-in campaign of Lisa Murkowski, the Republican incumbent whom he vanquished in the primary, and Scott McAdams, the Democrat who hasn't really been getting a lot of attention. A new poll out today shows the race is really anyone's to win, with Miller at 33 percent, Murkowski at 31 percent, and McAdams at 27 percent...

Even KOS's very own Chris Bowers has become a believer:
I admit that I was dubious about Scott McAdams’ chances to win, really until about a day or two ago. Now, however, I am a believer. If Miller and Murkowski continue to nuke each other, and McAdams stays positive, he could really pull this off.
