Get assigned by daddy and let the voting machines and fraud take over
U. S. Senate
In December 2002, while still a member of the state House-was appointed by her father, Governor Frank Murkowski, to fill a U.S. Senate vacancy after Frank Murkowski resigned from the Senate after being elected Governor.
The appointment caused controversy in the state, as many disapproved of apparent nepotism of her appointment to the Senate. This eventually resulted in a referendum that stripped the governor of his power to directly appoint replacement Senators.
In 2004
She was elected to a full six-year term against former Democratic Governor Tony Knowles in the 2004 election after winning a primary challenge by a large margin. The moderate Republican Main Street Partnership, which needed to run TV promotions for Murkowski, was advised no broadcast appointment was left to purchase.
Towards the end of the general campaign, senior U.S. Senator Ted Stevens shot campaign ads for Murkowski and claimed that if a Democrat replaced her, the State of Alaska would likely receive fewer federal dollars.
In 2010
She faced the most difficult election of her career on August 24, 2010, Republican Party primary election against Joe Miller, a former U.S. magistrate judge supported by former Governor Sarah Palin. The beginning polling counting for the essential gave her trailing Miller by an edge of 51-49%, with non-attendant voting forms yet to be counted. After the first round of non-attendant polling forms were counted on August 31, Murkowski surrendered the race, expressing that she didn't accept that Miller's lead would be defeated in the following round of truant vote tally.
On November 17, 2010, the Associated Press reported that she had become only the second Senate candidate (after Strom Thurmond in 1954) to win a write-in campaign, thereby retaining her seat. She emerged victorious after a two-week count of write-in ballots showed she had overtaken Miller.
