Murkowski Attacks Tea Party in Ad

If you can’t beat ‘em, try to beat ‘em again. That appears to be the strategy of Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who has launched a write-in bid to maintain her seat after losing in the GOP primary to Joe Miller, Politico reports.

She blames the Tea Party Express for her loss. And in her latest ad, she has her supporters criticize the grass-roots group.

“Wait, the Tea Party Express? Isn’t that the same California group that dumped half a million into Joe Miller’s campaign?” a man says in the ad. A woman adds, “This is my chance and Alaska’s chance to get our senator back.”

The Tea Party Express says it’s coming back to Alaska on Miller’s behalf, so Murkowski may be in trouble again.
