Ex-AK Gov. Sarah Palin (R) has already beaten one Murkowski, and now she's setting her sights on another, endorsing Sen. Lisa Murkowski's (R-AK) primary rival.
In a note posted to Facebook on Wednesday afternoon, Palin -- who beat then-Gov. Frank Murkowski (R) in the '06 GOP primary -- endorsed attorney Joe Miller (R) over Lisa Murkowski, calling the incumbent a part of the problem in DC.
"Unfortunately, Lisa Murkowski and much of the political establishment have recently evolved into being a bigger part of the big government problem in Washington, and they've strayed from the principles upon which they had espoused," Palin wrote. Referring to Miller, she added: "Joe is a true Commonsense Constitutional Conservative, and we're thankful he and his family are willing to offer us a choice in Alaskan leadership."
Miller is a long shot against Murkowski, who is seeking her second full term. Murkowski has $2M in the bank, and she hasn't done anything to irritate her conservative base.
