Piling On With Palin: Tea Party Express Backs Murkowski Rival

[ccharles000]

CNN reports that Tea Party Express is joining Sarah Palin in backing the longshot who wants to unseat Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the Republican primary.

Though lawyer Joe Miller, shown at left, has far less name identity in the state, Tea Party Express will pour in people and money to try to "level the playing field," reports CNN's Shannon Travis.

It will be interesting to see whether Republicans in Alaska view the endorsement as verification of Miller's conservative credentials or just a continuation of a family feud that started when Palin booted the senator's father, ex-senator and ex-Gov. Frank Murkowski.
