What is going on with the Miller race in Alaska?

[Hamlette]

Just got an email from McAdams (not sure why/how I got on his list) saying Miller dropped from about 37% to about 23% in the 3 way race. I'd stopped paying attention as I thought Palin's little sock puppet would win for sure. What's gonna happen?

1. Operation Alaska Chaos!

'Operation Alaska Chaos': Right-Wingers Pushed Flood Of AK-SEN Write-In Candidates

The flood of write-in candidates in the Alaska Senate race was pushed by Big Government's Dan Riehl and the conservative group Conservatives 4 Palin in an attempt to hurt Sen. Lisa Murkowski's own write-in campaign and give Republican nominee (and tea party favorite) Joe Miller a boost.

Beginning on Riehl's Big Government blog and dubbed "Operation Alaska Chaos" by C4P, Miller supporters were encouraged to file as write-in candidates so Murkowski's name would be buried on the official list of candidates. It worked.

Things had been going well for Murkowski's campaign, with the Alaska Supreme Court this week overturning a lower court's ruling that would have prevented voters from seeing a list of write-in candidates when they go to the polls. Now it seems that might have been a mixed blessing for Murkowski.

The filing deadline for write-in candidates was yesterday, and the full list came out today, with well over 100 names.

AK-SEN: When judge, Miller broke federal law in failing to disclose property

The strange story of the Mat Su property that Joe Miller has worked so hard to hide got a bit more serious today. The previous story was focused on Miller's failure to disclose the property on his financial disclosure form as a Senate candidate.

snip:Another nail in Miller's political coffin. Finding out that he was breaking the law when he was a freaking judge isn't going to do anything to help Miller's already battered image with voters.

Miller number dropped and many in AK don't like lisa...this could be a Dem pick up...
