National Democrats jump into Alaska; go after Murkowski

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is going up with an ad in Alaska, taking aim at Lisa Murkowski.

Here's the script:

Narrator: Maybe it was the fancy cocktail parties… Or all those pretty monuments. Whatever the reason – Lisa Murkowski has gone Washington. She voted for deficit exploding budgets that wrecked our economy. (On Screen: "Exploding Budgets.")

A plan to privatize Social Security. (On Screen: Privatize Social Security.) And when she voted to bailout Wall Street banks that gave billions in bonuses to their CEOs. (On Screen: Bailout Wall Street Banks.)

Well she turned her back on us…once and for all.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is responsible for the content of this advertising.

If only Clinton would ask McAdams to get out of the race, you might actually mention his name.

    I would rather have Murkowski win instead of the bearded man. At least, she is open to discussion. He will do anything and everything the Tea Partiers tell him to do.

    yes the bearded man (Joe Miller) WILL DO things that the tea party advocates - like voting for smaller government, lower taxes, a return to following the Constitution - yeah - all those TERRIBLE things.

      Yeah, making a rape victim carry a child to term, handcuffing reporters, hiring goons to suppress constitutional rights, yeah, he'll return us to the McCarthy era.

      Why does she not switch and become a Democrat and get the other guy to drop out? She has been voting Democratic for years. Why not admit it?

        Excuse me.....tell me ONE thing that Murkowski has broken with the GOP congressional leadership and voted with the Democrats on a piece of legislation?

           The Dems are wasting their time trying to win the Alaska senate race.  They should be focused completely on West Virginia, Nevada, Washington, and California right now if they want to retain control of the Senate.
