Judge tosses Miller lawsuit, clears way for Murkowski swearing-in
http://www.adn.com/2010/12/28/1622554/federal-judge-overturns-miller.html

A federal judge today dismissed Republican Joe Miller's federal lawsuit seeking to overturn the results of the Nov. 2 election, clearing the way for U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski to be certified as the winner.

U.S. District Judge Ralph Beistline issued a 14-page order this afternoon in which he said Miller wasn't raising any federal issues that he needed to resolve. He ordered Miller's entire federal case dismissed. Beistline wrote that he would not second guess the Alaska Supreme Court, which already had ruled against Miller.

He also lifted a block on the election's certification that he had previously imposed. State officials have said the election would be certified Thursday if the block were lifted.

2. Fight, fight, Joe Miller!
Don't give up! What would your mentor Sarah Palin do? Okay, maybe that's a bad example.

File for an emergency injunction! Don't give up, Joe! Don't wuss out now. You're closer than you've ever been to your final vindication.

3. Great news!!! Awesome to see Palin lose another one, betcha she's pissed right now ;)
And Senator Murkowski has been voting A LOT with the Democrats, especially during the lame duck.
So, thank you Sarah Palin and The Teabaggers for ending up giving us Murkowski our new 'the swing voter' :)
