Kris Alingod - AHN News Contributor
Anchorage, AK, United States (AHN) - Sen. Lisa Murkowski became the latest incumbent to fall to a Tea Party candidate Tuesday night when she conceded the Republican primary race to Joe Miller as absentee ballots were counted.
"Based on where we are right now, I don't see a scenario where the primary will turn out in my favor," Murkowski said in a press conference at the end of the first day of tallying of absentee votes. She trailed Miller by 1,668 votes after last week's primary, and improved marginally in the hours before her concession speech.
In his statement, Miller thanked the senator for a "hard fought contest" and cited former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for "provid[ing] vital support to this campaign."
The former Fairbanks magistrate judge called his successful bid from unknown conservative with doubtful prospects to Republican nominee an "amazing feat" that "started from a handful of people knowing who we were and what we stood for."
Miller will face Sitka Democratic Mayor Scott McAdams in the general election in November. The race is rated "solid Republican" by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.
National Republican Senatorial Committee chairman John Cornyn (R-TX) was quick to assure its full support for Miller, but he also paid tribute to Murkowski.
"The NRSC is committed to doing everything that we can in order to ensure Joe Miller’s victory... and I have no doubt that he will be elected," the chairman said.
"On a personal note, I thank my friend and colleague Senator Lisa Murkowski for her work," Cornyn added. "In conceding this evening and avoiding a long and costly recount, she has once again put Alaska first, displaying the same selfless service that she is known for in the halls of Congress."
Murkowski, the fifth highest-ranking Republican in the Senate and a mentee of former Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, had a consistent double-digit lead heading into the primary. But continuing public distrust of Washington insiders and a Tea Party movement that has vowed to remove Democratic and Republican incumbents made for a tough election year, especially for a moderate such as her.
She was seeking a second full term, having been appointed to the Senate in 2002 by her father, who ran and won the race for governor that year but lost his re-election bid to Palin four years ago.
