We are becoming increasingly red. Most of the inmigration is from the south. OIl and construction jobs. Depressing. The latest: AK-Sen: Pair of polls say Murkowski could win, but..... Two new polls out today in the highly intriguing three-way battle for Alaska's seat in the U.S. Senate paint a picture of a potential write-in victory for Lisa Murkowski. A CNN poll puts the Republican nominee (Joe Miller) at 38%, with Murkowski on his heels at 36%. Democrat Scott McAdams, the least known of the three, lingers behind at 22%. Later in the day, a Cracium Research poll made an even stronger case that Murkowski is viable, claiming a double-digit lead for the incumbent who is being compelled to forge a write-in campaign. In that poll, Murkowski leads Miller 41-30, with McAdams back at 19%. There is a major caveat, however. Both polls mentioned Murkowski by name on the trial heat, in effect giving her an advantage (her name on the ballot next to Miller and McAdams) that she will not enjoy in November. These polls underscore how terribly difficult it is to poll a race where there is a prominent and potentially viable write-in option.
