From Eric Dondero:Reporting from Alaska...
The vote count has not gone Lisa Murkowski's way. Earlier in the day, the Alaska Division of Elections reported that Murkowski had gained some ground, approximately 300 votes, with the Kenai and Southeast Alaska absentees counted.
Then at approximately 2:00 pm Alaska time, another batch, mainly from Fairbanks were completed, which brought the margin back up by 200. As it stands, Miller is now ahead by approximately 1,450. He had been ahead by 1,695 before the counts.
Now the scuttlebut from a well-known source who is right there downtown, rushing back and forth from the Div. of Elections and Joe Miller's campaign headquarters, is that Senator Murkowski is about to concede the race. The venue and exact time is not yet known. But our source indicates that it could come as soon as within the hour.
UPDATE!!
It's official! Lisa Murkowski has conceded the race to Joe Miller.

And she did concede. Thumbs up. Joe was a great guest on LPL and from what I recall, the best candidate we interviewed all year. I think we need to endorse Mr. Miller forthwith.
Geez, that goes without saying.
This is a big victory for the Tea Party. This is a big victory for Sarah Palin.
Losers? The Democrats, and the liberal media.
Good to see RINO Murkowski lose.
We need real conservatives in Congress who are determined to stop the Democrat agenda and repeal Obamacare, and balance the budget.
ERIC! THANKS, MAN!
Another big winner... Libertarian Republican.
Hearty congratulations to Miller for a well-fought campaign. Thanks to Senator Murkowski, too, for the courage.
Get down;
Make love.
Well, I called that one wrong. It happens occasionally.
Umm, no Knapp. It happens quite a lot. You're wrong on so many things, most especially your leftist brand of libertarianism, and your wrong-headed not-to-mention anti-American non-interventionist foreign policy.
Guys, had the pleasure of sharing pizza and beer with three top Joe Miller aides last night, along with Stacy McCain over at the Moose Tooth, near downtown Anchorage.
Good folks. They are amazingly humble in their victory.
