Alaskan Tea Party
In tomorrow's Wall Street Journal. The money quote:
Though heavily outspent, Mr. Miller was helped by former Governor Sarah Palin's endorsement and especially by Ms. Murkowski's failure to understand the anti-Washington mood. When he asked Senator Murkowski in a debate which part of the Constitution permitted Roe v. Wade and bank bailouts, she responded that the nation might suffer if the government only funded things explicitly authorized by the Constitution. Bad answer.It's too early to get my hopes up. Having lived through 1984, 1994, and 2004, I have no hopes left to get up. Still, I wait, in breathless silence.
