Looks like there is a good chance that we will have two democratic congress critters


JUNEAU, Alaska - A week after conceding the GOP primary, U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski says she's not a quitter and "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."

Besides a third-party run, Murkowski also could seek a write-in candidacy, which she called high risk. Or, she could decide to stay out of the race.
