Murkowski ‘Still in the Game’

The AP reports that Senator Murkowski is still considering her options:

JUNEAU, Alaska — A week after conceding the GOP primary, U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski says she’s not a quitter and is “still in this game.”

Murkowski told The Associated Press on Tuesday that she’s been inundated with calls and e-mails from supporters, asking her not to leave the race. She says she’s been humbled, and is listening – and weighing her options.

She met briefly with the Libertarian candidate Tuesday, after friends of hers – without her direction – approached the Libertarian party, asking if they’d consider a Murkowski candidacy. She says she had an interesting discussion with candidate David Haase but made clear she’s not interested in changing her “political stripes.”

Murkowski also could seek a write-in candidacy, which she called high risk. Or, she could stay out of the race.
