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.
