Not completely germane, but a question for Ebbie.   Is it true that if Murkowski were to win in Alaska and the Republicans were to take the Senate, that Murkowski, with her seniority, would be put in charge of the Natural Resources Committee?--since she'd ask for that--(with disastrous results for the environment)   Whereas if Miller (Tea Party, now officially Republican) wins, he will have no seniority, therefore not be eligible for this position?

If it is true, it seems that since the Democrat has no chance in Alaska, we should be actually rooting for Miller.   Bitter irony.
