senator knowles wants to get beat by another murkowski?
Uh, look at Frank's numbers before you get so sure.
you dems said the same thing about lisa.
Dude, the elder Murkowski has 73% disapproval. And it's not even quite the passive disapproval that Lisa got - "just there because of her daddy" - and that was enough to carry the Democrats to a near-victory.
Murkowski's best showing, among conservatives, still has a 60 percent disapproval.
Murkowski is in an
awful position. He is hated, and his only remaining base of support (he is only at 15% among Dems - whoever they are - and 18% among independents) is the people who would be voting for him already. It's not even as if his crash is, like Taft's, because he also pissed of conservatives by being too liberal. He has managed to tank his approval ratings without doing anything to expressly piss off his base (he just happened to do so in the meantime).
If anything, Murkowski's performance is effectively worse than Taft's when put into the context of a general election.
