Lisa Murkowski: I Have Listened To The Voters And What They Seem To Be Saying Is That They've Got A Bad Case of Murkowski-Feveh And I'm The Only Cure
Update: Confirmed

Confirmed: At HotLine.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) will run for re-election as a write-in candidate after losing her bid for renomination, according to sources briefed on Murkowski's decision.

Murkowski's decision will set up a 3-way battle between the incumbent, Miller and Sitka Mayor Scott McAdams (D), potentially turning the race on its head. Private 3-way polling has shown Miller leading, but by a narrow margin.

...

"I'm not much of a poker player, but the analogy I've been using is that I'm sitting there and I've been dealt a six and an eight," Murkowski told the paper. "I'm not much of a poker player, but the analogy I've been using is that I'm sitting there and I've been dealt a six and an eight. But it is possible."

That actually sounds about right. It's a horrible hand. It's garbage. It doesn't even have the Beautiful Loser romance of the 7-2.

...

Actually, this is a rumor, but rumors don't say funny things in headlines.

But that's what Lowry is hearing.

Maybe Not Just a Rumor: Murky Supporters Saying "Come To Campaign Kickoff" Tonight. Murky, your ego is writing checks your earmarks can't cover.

Corrected: I wrote her "staffers" are saying it. Not true. It's her supporters, and presumably they don't know for sure. They want her to run, but wouldn't know.

Apologies.
