Lisa Murkowski is the most recent of liberals they have endorsed who have been turned away by the rank and file. They endorsed Arlen Specter and Charlie Crist, who, with the benefit of hindsight, are clearly Democrats in sheep&#8217;s clothing. They endorsed Mark Kirk in Illinois and Mike Castle, who are not-so-clearly Democrats in sheep&#8217;s clothing. And they endorsed others who are too liberal for their constituencies, including incumbents\u00a0Bob Bennett of Utah, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and other liberal challengers. I am not aware of <em>one<\/em> conservative that they endorsed over a liberal opponent.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s time for new leadership for the Republicans in the Senate.<br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-4419877247826466\";\n\/* 468x60, created 7\/26\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"2618741946\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 60;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n\t<div class=\"quickshare-container\">\r\n\t<ul class=\"quickshare-genericons monochrome quickshare-effect-expand\">\r\n\t\t<li class=\"quickshare-share\">Share:<\/li> \r\n\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Flisa-murkowski-concedes%2F&amp;t=Lisa+Murkowski+concedes+<+The+Liberty+Musings+Blog\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Facebook\"><span class=\"quickshare-facebook\">Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Flisa-murkowski-concedes%2F&amp;text=Lisa+Murkowski+concedes+<+The+Liberty+Musings+Blog\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Twitter\"><span class=\"quickshare-twitter\">Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Flisa-murkowski-concedes%2F&amp;media=&amp;description=In+what+I+think+is+the+best+news+of+the+week+so+far%2C+Senator+Lisa+Murkowski+conceded+today+to+her+primary+challenger%2C+Joe+Miller.+I+heard+Joe+Miller+last+week+being+interviewed+by+Mark+Levin+and+was+impressed.+And+I%27m%26hellip%3B\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Pinterest\"><span class=\"quickshare-pinterest\">Pinterest<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Flisa-murkowski-concedes%2F&amp;title=Lisa+Murkowski+concedes&amp;source=The+Liberty+Musings+Blog&amp;summary=In+what+I+think+is+the+best+news+of+the+week+so+far%2C+Senator+Lisa+Murkowski+conceded+today+to+her+primary+challenger%2C+Joe+Miller.+I+heard+Joe+Miller+last+week+being+interviewed+by+Mark+Levin+and+was+impressed.+And+I%27m%26hellip%3B\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"quickshare-linkedin\">Linkedin<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Flisa-murkowski-concedes%2F\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Google+\"><span class=\"quickshare-googleplus\">Google+<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a href=\"mailto:?subject=The+Liberty+Musings+Blog:+Lisa+Murkowski+concedes&amp;body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Flisa-murkowski-concedes%2F\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share via Email\"><span class=\"quickshare-email\">Email<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t<\/ul>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In what I think is the best news of the week so far, Senator Lisa Murkowski conceded today to her primary challenger, Joe Miller.
