candidate endorsed by the tea party and sarah palin pulls out a win. joe miller went to west pointe he has a yale law degree and he practices law in fairbanks and fought a very vigorous campaign. he beat up lisa murkowski on the fact she's a moreover conservati conservative. he is much more fiscally conservative. people criticize murkowski for not running an aggressive campaign in a year when incumbents are widely viewed as favorable. she took the high road but left a lot of charges that were unanswered because when palin endorsed joe miller, so came money from the tea party express. the california-based group and they did some very hard-hitting ads and murkowski tried to take that high road and didn't really fight back. this is a stunner out of alaska
