Lisa Murkowski's write-in campaign got off to a rather inauspicious start when her campaign misspelled her last name in her first campaign ad today. Yes, you read that correctly. While running a write-in campaign, her own campaign misspelled her last name. I thought she fired John Bitney. ...

oh dear.

This is one of Princess Lisa's biggest obstacles - to vote for her (why?) in November, you have to write her name in. That's why she is far behind in that Ras poll. You'd think a staff member who think to double-check the spelling, though.

A futile and stupid thing to do. Above possibly town or county elections with 11 or 12 at-large candidates for the same office, write-ins garner less than the tiniest party on the ballot, all this can do is possibly tip a very close shave to the Dem, though it does prove Murkowski is strictly in the game for the Murkowski family and nobody else.

I think she is figuring that this tactic worked for Liberman, so it can for her. The only difference is the GOP ran such an awful candidate in CT that voting for Joe was the sensible option..

The way McLame was sucking Liberman's crank, many could be excused for believing that Liberman WAS the GOP's candy-date back then...

I beleive Liebermann ran as an independent and was on the ballot, not as a write-in.

He did - CT state law allowed him to do so. Not so fortunate for Murkowski.

Yeah, that's what I thought; in a major race, trying to get elected by write-in is purely a gesture of defiance, you're likely to be outdone by Mickey Mouse or Homer Simpson most places, since the number of smartasses voting who don't like any of the candidates usually outnumbers the idiots who think writing in a real person's name is going to have any effect on the outcome. Even 'serious' (Cough) write-in candidates are usually doing great to break into the low hundreds. In her case, I'm sure she'll get some family loyalists and a smattering of disaffected wack-jobs to do it, but it's a secret ballot and even her associates in the GOP establishment have to realize helping the Dem get elected by wasting their vote on her is a fundamentally dumb idea.
