There are those of us who are happy that you have now taken the higher road, and those who are sad it all happened in the first place. Most of us here right now pretty much happy that there was a candidate of principle who found himself on the ballot.  The possibility of divine providence is not lost in my mind

    I'll guess this was sent out to 11th district precinct delegates and/or Republican supporters. The Good Old Boys are aghast that some outsider might gain entry to their exclusive domain, and are evidently busy scrambling to line up some sort of plausible Murkowski. There isn't any sign of supporting the guy who played by their rules and won.

From today's Free Press: "Not that we have any real authority, but a group of about 25 Republicans are going to get together this week to see who's out there and come up with a person we can all stand behind," said Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson."
