write-in bid for the alaska senate race. of course joe miller defeated her in an upset a few weeks ago. and murkowski has been mulling her options. last night the republican senat senatorial campaign committee said if she would do the right thing it would be endorse joe miller and not mount a write-in bid so certainly the republicans are a bit worried what she will do. if she decides to mount a write-in bid it only only intensify the republican ideological civil war we ve been seeing play out in alaska and also this week in delaware. mark murray, thanks. now to that dangerous storm that seemed to come out of nowhere and hit new york city hard yesterday. 100-mile-an-hour winds and torrential rains sent people scrambling for cover as the storm stripped roofs off houses and pulled trees from city sidewalks. an apparent tornado was spotted on this video shot near staten island.
