From NBC's Pete Williams
Election officials in Alaska are asking a federal judge to act today, so that Lisa Murkowski can be sworn in with other U.S. senators on Jan. 5th.
"The logistics of the certification process require a quick decision," the state says in newly filed court documents. Senate rules require the certification to be delivered to the Senate before noon on Jan. 3rd -- this coming Monday. What's more, the state says, the certification document must be signed by both Alaska's governor and lieutenant governor, who live in different cities. A state employee is standing by to fly to Washington and deliver the certification, but the judge must lift a stay he put in place November 19th if the process is to be completed in time, election officials claim.
The state also urges the judge to reject Republican Joe Miller's latest request to keep alive his lawsuit challenging the state's method for counting write-in votes.
As a footnote, the Constitution requires members of Congress to meet every Jan. 3rd, "unless they shall by law appoint a different day." In late November, Congress did appoint a different day, specifying that in 2011 it would meet on Jan. 5th. Even so, Alaskan officials say in their court filings, "the Secretary of the Senate will not represent to the state that the deadline to deliver the certification is any later than January 3."

That big sucking sound you hear is... Joe (the dead salmon) Millers chances dissipating via a royal flush! lol
LoL Feisty, Joe is probably singing “O Come, O Come, Sarah.”
Tina Marie died.
RIP Teena Marie!! She had a heavenly voice. I can still hear her singing Déjà vu (I've Been Here Before) in my head. She sang with so much conviction. Her voice was truly one of a kind. RIP Lady T, we’ll miss your divine voice. We’ll see you again. The angel of death came for your beautiful spirit in your sleep at the tender age of 54. Wherever you are, rich or poor, you are still a queen in this universe. Call it déjà vu.
I Am Young And I Am Old
I Am Rich And I Am Poor
I Feel Like I've Been On This Earth Many Times Before
Once I Was A White Gazelle On Horseback Riding Free
Searching In The Darkness For A Piece Of Me.
I Can Feel This For Sure.
I've Been Here Before.
I Can Feel This For Sure, For Sure, For Sure. I've Been Here Before.
I Used To Be A Queen You Know
On An Island By The Sea
With Rainbow Coloured People, Hah!
Happy As Can Be
We Never Had A Problem
There Never Was A Care
The Love Was Everflowing And It's Feeling Shared
And I Can Feel This for Sure……….
Yes I Have
I Can Feel It
In My Heart I Feel It!
I Can Feel It
My Soul Feels Like the Universe
The Baskin Never Ends
The Stars To Me Are Children
The Babies Are My Friends
My Heart Is Like A Galaxy
Within My Spirit Flys
I've Felt This Way A Million Times
Please Don't Ask Me Why
The Question Of My Lifetime
And That's My Point Of View
They Say It All Was Karma
Call It Deja Vu/ Call It Deja Vu
Call It Deja Vu/ Call It Deja Vu
Call It Deja Vu
And I Can Feel This For Sure………..
If Hate Is On Your Mind And U Can't Give Love in Kind
If Anger Is Your Friend
Don't U Know When U Die You Will Come Back Again
In The Master's Plan, You Will Come Back Woman Or Man.
If Your Life Is Full Of Sin,
Don't U Know When U Die U Will Come Back Again!
I Thank God! I Thank God! I Thank God!
I Am Not Coming Back No More!!
I've Been Here Before.
I Thank God! I Thank God! I Thank God! (I Don't Want To Come Back No More!)
The Kalinago people of Dominica famed for their skills as sailors and warriors did this video as tribute to Teena Maria as a tribute. You must hear her beautiful voice on this tribute. Music is universal and it touches everyone’s life. Thank god, Thank god.

What will Miller do? Will he be humiliated? Will he call Sarah like Rahm called Bill and "fracture" and perhaps break his warm relationship with the Alaskan community?
It's time to quit Joe. Be like Sarah Quit.
Expediency is a b!tch. Remember Bush v. Gore and the SCOTUS rationale.
Why is Joe quiting? He is only 10,000 votes behind and if he will hang in there and take his case to the Federal Supreme Court any thing is possible. Remember how they swung the 2000 Presidential race.
The Miller/Murkowski pageant would be interesting if we were in Alaska, since most of us are not how about posting something of National relevance, maybe a few words on how the good Republicans are attempting to change House rules to facilitate the protection of tax laws designed to enrich the wealthy while at the same time making it easier to rape the poor, that would seem to be of more interest to us lower fortyeighters, unless of course your handlers have forbid you from giving the general public a "feel" for the people they were hoodwinked into putting into power in the House.
Will somebody buy this biter-boy a razor?
Please??
