Murkowski Concedes

Alaska State FlagAlaska Senator Lisa Murkowski has dropped any challenge and conceded the race to Joe Miller. 

I am at first suspicious.  Murkowski was flirting with alternate paths to the general election.  The Libertarians denied her which leaves an independent run.  She seems too much like those desperate to cling to power, and as Erik Erickson points out on Red State, Murkowski was a chosen lieutenant of Mitch McConnell, one of several who have either moved on or failed to survive their primaries.

The larger message is that the right is taking the job of Senator a bit more seriously this cycle.  I can only wonder if they will do the same thing here in New Hampshire.
