Records Show Miller Admitted Lying
Alaksa U.S. Senate candidate Joe Miller (R) admitted in 2008 that he lied after being caught using Fairbanks North Star Borough computers for political purposes while he was working as a part-time borough lawyer, the Anchorage Daily News reports.
In an email from his employee records, Miller wrote, “I lied about accessing all of the computers. I then admitted about accessing the computers, but lied about what I was doing. Finally, I admitted what I did.”
“During the campaign, Miller first refused to answer questions from reporters about it, then acknowledged he had been disciplined. He’s refused to discuss the details, however and won’t agree to an interview with the Daily News.”
Toomey Leads in Pennsylvania
A new Franklin and Marshall poll in Pennsylvania shows Pat Toomey (R) leading Rep. Joe Sestak (D) by seven points in the U.S. Senate race, 43% to 36%.
Said pollster Terry Madonna: “Seven points, with a week to go — I don’t think you can completely rule out a miracle or a game-changing turnout moment. But that would be a remarkable turnaround.”
The latest Morning Call/Muhlenberg tracking poll shows Toomey leading by five points, 46% to 41%.
Though a poll yesterday found the race a dead heat, most give the edge to Toomey.
Oregon Race for Governor Remains Tight
A Hibbitts, Davis & Midghall poll in Oregon finds Chris Dudley (R) narrowly leads former Gov. John Kitzhaber (D) in the race for governor, 46% to 43% with 10% still undecided.
Said pollster Tim Hibbitts: “What it tells me is it’s a very close race. It has been a very close race for four and a half months. If the next poll comes up with Kitzhaber up by a point or two, I will not be surprised.”
