From Eric Dondero:As libertarian-conservative Republican for US Senate Joe Miller gets closer to securing the GOP nomination, his Democrat opponent is wasting no time in attacking him. Scott McAdams, Mayor of Sitka, and an attendee at the 2010 NetRoots convention of far leftwing bloggers, told an audience that Miller's fiscally conservative views are too extreme for most Alaskans. He added that Miller would be too opposed to federal pork projects that some believe benefit the State.
Moreover, a Democrat official speaking on behalf of McAdams took it a step further and accused Miller's supporters of being jobless.
Excerpted from DailyKos (via Swing State):
"I see Joe Miller align behind a Hummer with armed guards march through a family parade in Eagle River," McAdams said, alluding to video that was posted online of Miller supporters carrying assault weapons during a parade. "I see Joe Miller talk about the abolishment of the Department of Education and the diminishment of public schools in general, but the good news is that we as Democrats are for the fair and adequate public election of every kid in this state."The report went on to suggest that McAdams plans to specifically attack the "very platform that appealed so much to Miller's fiscally conservative to libertarian primary voters."
"Attorney Joe Miller is an extreme politician who wants to end Social Security, Medicare and unemployment benefits for Alaskans," DSCC National Press Secretary Deirdre Murphy said in a preview of what is to come over the next couple of months. "His strict social doctrine will only please his tea party backers, not the hardworking people of Alaska."
Kos added that Miller is a "pretty extreme character."

Democrats are for fair and adequate public education for every kid in the state?
That's one reason why voting Democrat in Alaska is a very bad idea.
