I don't start many of these, and am not quite sure how to do it -
BUT! Solid RW Senior Senator Lisa Murkowski on the RepbliCON convention? Lisa can be pretty cool on some stuff, not much, but some - and for this one I give her credit for a damn good excuse (she didn't use it with McCain) and wanting to distance herself from the Clown Car.
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski will be traveling in Alaska next week as part of her re-election campaign and won't be attending the national Republican convention.
Rachel Kallander, a spokeswoman for Murkowski's re-election campaign, says the convention is about a month before Murkowski's primary and that Murkowski has a packed travel schedule during the Senate break.
