There’s been some talk around the web that if Lisa Murkowski loses the Republican nomination for US Senate in Alaska that she might try to run as a Libertarian. Apparently, the Alaska Libertarian Party has said thanks but no thanks. Eric Dondero of Libertarian Republican broke the story today…

The Executive Committee of the Alaska Libertarian Party held an emergency meeting yesterday to discuss the contested primary results in the Republican Senate primary. All 5 board members met in an undisclosed location in northeast Anchorage to hammer out a decision as to how to move forward.

Friends of Lisa Murkowski approached the ALP early Wednesday morning immediately after the Tuesday primaries, feeling out if there was any possibility that the Senator could appear on the Libertarian line for the fall election, as a third party candidate. Other supporters of the Senator, including at least two longstanding members of the Libertarian Party, also called to lobby ALP Chair Scott Kohlhaas to keep an “open mind,” on the issue.

Kohlhaas was immediately innundated with Alaska and national media over the matter.

On Sunday morning, over coffee and donuts, the ExComm voted unanimously, 5 to 0 to deny the Senator the ballot line. There was no malice intended. ALP Chair Kohlhaas has repeatedly stated that she is a nice lady, and the ALP was flattered by the offer.

Robert Stacy McCain, who knows Dondero, offers some juicier details at his blog and makes a gutsier choice in his post title.

Murkowski’s opponent, Tea Party backed Republican Joe Miller, has a slight lead but absentee ballots have yet to be counted.

Allahpundit at Hot Air describes the inherent catch 22 in all this….

Irony of ironies, if Miller wins the primary then the one person in Alaska who can probably guarantee his victory in the general is … Lisa Murkowski, by endorsing him and asking her supporters to back him in a show of party unity. (She has major centrist appeal, drawing 38 percent of indies, 32 percent of Republicans, and even 27 percent of Democrats in a three-way race.) Think Murky will be willing to put all this behind her and help the GOP by declaring “It’s Miller time” in Alaska?

You may recall a post I wrote about Levi Johnston back in July when he apologized to the Palin family for lying about them. Forget everything he said…

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Levi Johnston, the father of Sarah Palin’s grandson, says he wishes he hadn’t apologized for telling lies about the former Alaska governor because he’s “never lied about anything.”

Johnston said in an interview on CBS’ “The Early Show” to air Friday that he wishes that he hadn’t issued the apology to Palin.

“I don’t really regret anything,” Johnston said, who has appeared nude on the cover of Playgirl. “But the only thing I wish I wouldn’t have done is put out that apology ’cause it kind of makes me sound like a liar. And I’ve never lied about anything. So that’s probably the only thing. The rest of the stuff I can live with.”

What will happen to Ricky Hollywood Levi Johnston when the leftist media no longer has any political use for him?

Two words: Rehab show.

After Sarah Palin’s personal email account was hacked by the son of a Tennessee Democrat politician, it came to light that her personal account was used at some point for state related business.

Today, an Alaska judge has ruled that Governor Palin did nothing wrong.

“ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A judge has ruled that the Alaska governor’s office can use private e-mail accounts to conduct state business, as former Gov. Sarah Palin sometimes did.”

“Superior Court Judge Jack W. Smith said in his ruling Wednesday that there is no provision in Alaska state law that prohibits the use of private e-mail accounts when conducting state business.”

“The case stemmed from a lawsuit filed by Anchorage resident Andree McLeod.”

“McLeod contended such use of private e-mails denies citizens the right to inspect public records.”

“State lawyers argued that McLeod misinterpreted current state law. And if the practice is to be changed, lawyers said it was up to Alaska lawmakers do it.”

Johnny Cash has a special message for all the Obots with Palin-Derangement-Syndrome who keep filing these ridiculous ethics complaints against Governor Palin.

Sarah Palin makes her exit as Alaska Governor this weekend and a picnic was held in her honor as a sort of final event. Speaking to attendees and well wishers, Sarah Palin made some statements:

“Later, citing military families that have lost loved ones, she again drew loud applause by saying: “Let us continue to love our country, be proud of our country, never apologize for our country.”

What a refreshing change to hear an American leader say that Americans should be proud of their country and not apologize for it.

Oh and on a final note, Glenn Reynolds and Red State have pointed out something you won’t hear in the news any time soon…

Sarah Palin and Barack Obama are now tied for popularity.

Astounding, considering how differently they’re treated by the press.

UPDATE: Video!

The left fears her. The RINOs fear her. Libertarians love her. I will continue to support her.

Run Sarah, run.

Anyone who supported John McCain but believed in real conservatism is a fan of Sarah Palin.

Furthermore, if you love Sarah Palin, you’re familiar with the extreme and ugly bias she received from the American media leading up to the election. Well now Sarah Palin finally gets a chance to address some of the absurd smears that were hurled towards her and her family.

John Ziegler, creator of How Obama Got Elected, sat down recently with Sarah Palin and asked her a few questions any Palin fan wants to hear answered.

Sarah Palin has class. She mentions the fact that Obama said his family members were off limits. Even so, she and her family were attacked. No reasonable person should blame Obama for that, but would be correct to blame the so called MSM.

A certain sick minded blogger who isn’t even an American citizen, has been pushing a disgusting rumor that Sarah Palin’s youngest son isn’t her own.

A certain hateful blog launched the rumor and a certain “news” network propagated the hateful whispers on the blogosphere as if it was factual, which it wasn’t.

Obama himself said that families were off limits but his obedient cult followers didn’t get the memo.

Now, many of these same morons want us to believe that Caroline Kennedy is qualified to be a United States Senator.

They think we forgot the misogyny and hate they espoused towards Sarah Palin and more specifically, her children.

They think that, you know, it’s fine to beat up Sarah Palin then ask softball questions of Caroline, just like they did with the Obamessiah.

Dear New York Times,

We haven’t forgotten.

We love Sarah Palin.

And we look forward to your death.

January 3, 2009 marks 50 years of statehood for Alaska and its governors are being honored in celebration.

Here’s an interesting article on Alaska’s entrance to the union with a nice mention of current AK Governor Sarah Palin.

“Today, Palin, the state’s ninth and the first woman governor, works with surplus-generating budgets in the billions generated from oil revenue.”
