The Juneau Empire ran a letter to the editor today that grabbed the issues of the Mcadams/Murkowski/Miller election better than I have heard anywhere else.  The closing paragraph sums it up

Many Americans have chosen to flee into a utopian fantasy world of an America without government regulations, despite the fact such a country is easy pickings for those who would institute corporate rule. Similarly, some Alaskans seem to be buying into the fantasy Murkowski represents anything but corporate rule. Miller may not be honest about his own federal subsidies, but he's pretty straight up about his contempt for people's government and his plans for it. The only reason I can see to vote for Murkowski is if you prefer being stabbed in the back, rather than the front.

If you want a country of unregulated corporations wielding absolute power, either Joe or Lisa will do. If not, I suggest you consider the candidate who actually is a moderate, Scott McAdams.

I have been trying to clearly represent the fact that voting for Lisa is voting for all of the excesses of the Republican party.  Mr. Cohen has said it better than I could.

She has no intention of addressing America's complex future challenges other than the tried-and-failed ideas of Bush and the Republican Party. Neither does Miller.

 

Too many Dems and moderates are saying that they will vote for Murkowski because of the "ick factor."  They think it is so terrible to be represented by the hypocritical Miller that they will vote for Murkowski instead because they see her as more visible than McAdams.  But the real ick is a Republican dominated congress. I don't need to say more. Read the rest of the LTE.  Scott Mcadams is our only choice. It may make the difference in the makeup of the Senate.  It would be wonderful to have a real progressive "community organizer" representing Alaska.
