Murkowski Loses Her Senate Leadership Position

Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell lowered the boom on Sen. Lisa Murkowski after she decided to run as an independent for her current Senate seat:

“Senate Republicans informed Lisa Murkowski that we will respect the will of the voters in Alaska and support the Republican nominee, Joe Miller. I informed her that by choosing to run a campaign against the Republican nominee, she no longer has my support for serving in any leadership roles, and I have accepted her letter of resignation from Senate leadership. Lisa has served her state and our party with distinction, but Republicans acknowledge the decision Alaskans made and join them in support of the Republican nominee, Joe Miller—the next Senator for Alaska.”

As Joe Miller says, it's now him against the liberals. I still think Miller can win this. I don't see Murkowski getting all that much support.
