I know this isn’t California politics (as the Flashreport is geared towards) but John Fund’s blog today on the Miller-Murkowski race in Alaska (I can no longer write Alaska without hearing Sandra Bollock’s voice in my head: A-las-ka. Go rent The Proposal if you don’t get it.) is worth reading. Looks like they don’t think Murkowski can win, even with the absentee votes that still

need to be counted.Here’s a snippet:
“Ms. Murkowski could also run a write-in campaign and has until Oct. 28 to choose that course. But such campaigns rarely work, are incredibly complicated and run the risk of being seen as a desperate sour grapes move by an incumbent not willing to bow to the will of the voters.
In the end, Ms. Murkowski would do well to reconcile herself to the vagaries of politics. Her Senate career began in 2002 as a stroke of good luck — when she was appointed to the seat by her father while he was governor. It is likely to end because she had the bad luck to run in a year when incumbency wasn’t much of an asset and her pork-barrel ways had gone out of style in Alaska.”
