Senator Lisa Murkowski’s attempt to win reelection through a write-in campaign in Alaska will test the staying power of Sarah Palin and the Tea Party amid a debate over the role of federal spending in that state.
“I’m going to give them a choice,” Murkowski said yesterday on CNN’s “State of the Union” program. “If the people on Nov. 2 say, well, we don’t like her, that’s fine.”
