Things are heating up in Alaska between the Murkowski family and the Palin family. After her bloody defeat in the GOP primary a few days ago, close confidents of Senator Lisa Murkowski are saying that she is launching a write-in campaign.

Clearly, the Senator is holding anger against the Tea Party. Definitely, her decision could hurt the Tea party candidate in favor of the Democrats.

Politics should take lessons from sports: fair play should be the best attitude. It is difficult to agree with the extremists, but Lisa Murkowski is wrong. The fight of two witches will certainly be steamy. As the Tuareg of Niger say, “Defeat is not failure, but trailing is total failure.”
