AK Sen: Murkowski Weighing Write-In Effort

We may find out later today if Sen. Lisa Murkowski will launch a last ditch write-in effort to retain her Senate seat.  Murkowski conceded the Republican primary race in Alaska to Joe Miller on August 31, but has remained tight-lipped about her intentions moving forward.  Rumors of a Libertarian Party run percolated for days, but appear to have

dried up, leaving Team Murkowski with few options.  Winning a major statewide office through a write-in campaign is virtually unheard of, but merely trying could make enough of an impact to scorch a rival candidate in a competitive race.

Murkowski herself has strongly hinted at a desire to press forward, telling the media, "I'm no quitter."  In this case, though, she didn't quit--she was fired by the voters of her party.  If she decides to pull a Charlie Crist, expect an entertaining and bitter food fight between Murkowski (defended at every turn no doubt, by Democratic nominee Scott McAdams) and the NRSC.  Guest star: Sarah Palin. 

As Joe Miller's press secretary told me last week, his overwhelming preference is that Murkowski will be a team player, put her ego aside, and rally around the party pick.  We'll know if she intends to play ball or go rogue very soon.

UPDATE: Sounds like Mitch McConnell's ready to play hardball.
