Sen. Murkowski Warns Palin: Stay Away From My Seat

Politico:

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.

AWE YES, Sarah's GIFT OF GAB CERTAINLY IS THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL TO THE DEMOCRATS, THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING.

The Repugs could use Sarah to filibuster legislation. The Senate on both sides of the aisle would probably empty out after 15 minutes. Love to see that on the evening news.

It boggles my mind...there are some people who actually think Sarah Palin is President material. I'm sure in some ways she's a sharp cookie, but sharp enough to be Prez...nope...no way !

[jennytaylia]

"Sharp cookie"... isn't that phrase something of an oxymoron in and of itself, not only as it applies to Winkie McYupyup??

[Excitedforfuture]

They assume a republican will win!

[DarthDerisive]

And that sir is the ultimate thing!

[Tom Joad]

I was gonna say "CAT FIGHT!" but everyone else already did LOL.

[ConcernedAboutRFuture]

Oh come on....but she's prettier!!! You betcha!

[indypete]

She's prettier than Joe Biden too but it didn't help!

[JJK]

As I have said many times in recent weeks, for Democrats, Sarah Palin is the gift that keeps on giving.

Santa Clause, Please!

Please, let Sarah and Todd run for the Senate against one of its more moderate Republican members.

Please let her drive the Republican Party even further to the wacky right.

Please let her make the Republican Party even more out of touch with the moderate middle of American voters.

Good job you're confining your plea to Santa Claus. No use praying, cos those repubs own God and Jaysus, doncha know.

[JohnTalbutt]

Definitely an intelligence test for Alaskan Republicans.

[indypete]

Intelligence?

Republicans?

Does not compute.

[rabiddog6708]

Hiss! Murkowski vs Palin in a CPAN cat fight. The debate can be after their mudwrestling event.

[indypete]

I'd pay to see that!

Wait a minute..... they're republicans..... They'll simply (under)pay a couple of Mexican gals who are here illegally to fight in their places.

[DFutureIsNow]

LOL. Cat fight anyone?

[TheIndependenceParty]

Seems the senator has developed a sense of entitlement to her office!

[diamondgirl9]

Seems Palin has an aversion to her current job. Ever since she saw the bright lights iof the lower 48-she's looking at Alaska in her rearview mirror.

[Checquoline]

The senate seat. Yes! That's what she wants. She already filibusters.

[munki]

Alaskans have higher standard than having Palin - just quiet do not get it in Capitol Hill.

[Egalitare]

Do the Alaska GOP rules allow for nomination by mudwrestling on PPV?

[mec57]

I hate to tell you, Missy M., but Sarah isn't going to listen to you!

[BillZBubb]

Sarah, that's the sound of God knocking on the door! Opportunity awaits. Go for it!

[amaycatbaker]

Unfortunately, Palin took Murkowski's daddy's governorship. All because of the corruption of how Murkowski became a senator in the first place, Daddy appointed her. Which made her re-election bid tougher. And that is a foundation for someone as stupid as Palin, to go after the seat. Murkowski knows she is in trouble. I just hope they find a good member of the Democratic party to run against Palin up there.

Would an indicted Demo. have a chance ? Does not seem to hurt the republicans.

Medes and Persians, Horton, Medes and Persians!
