UPSET: Murkowski Concedes AK Primary Race to 'Tea Party' Candidate...
Sen. Lisa Murkowski's defeat marks major tea party win
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (By DAN JOLING, Associated Press) – Backed by the Tea Party Express and Sarah Palin, a little-known conservative lawyer from Alaska became the latest newcomer to the national political stage to take down an incumbent in 2010.
In arguably the biggest political upset of the year, Joe Miller claimed the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate when incumbent GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski conceded Tuesday evening.
Miller's win was a major victory for the tea party movement and marked the first time it had defeated a sitting senator in a primary.
