Primary may oust Alaska's governor

JUNEAU, Alaska - Republican Gov. Frank Murkowski is fighting to survive today's primary after a rocky first term and a campaign in which opponents have tried to blame him for the partial shutdown of the nation's largest oil field.

Murkowski is polling last in the three-way race for the GOP nomination. The winner likely will face Democrat Tony Knowles, a two-term former governor, in the general election.

Murkowski, 73, has tried to turn the election into a referendum on his proposal for a $25 billion natural gas pipeline to Canada, calling the project "the greatest significant event since statehood."

If a different Republican nominee emerges, "it will be very difficult to get his contract moved forward," said Alaska House Majority Leader John Coghill, a Republican.

Murkowski's approval ratings have skidded during the past four years because of much-criticized decisions such as appointing his daughter Lisa to his U.S. Senate seat and purchasing a state jet after his request for the aircraft was denied by both the federal government and state Legislature.
