Doug Brady, Conservatives4Palin reported that Joe Miller discussed the GOP establishment’s digging in rather than admitting defeat among its candidates such as Lisa Murkowski with Neil Cavuto tonight. Murkowski is currently keeping her Senate Energy Committee leadership position.

In his interview with Cauvto, Miller spoke highly of his main endorser, Gov. Palin regarding her as a “phenomenal asset to the nation,” who “has [and continues to do] extraordinary things for the country.” When asked if he would endorse Gov. Palin for a 2012 POTUS run, Miller said he regarded her as being the “top of the field of candidates,” but made clear that there was no quid pro quo in his statement and that he does not do business that way.

The National Review wrote a scathing editorial about the GOP protecting Murkowski rather than following the will of the voters, and removing her from the position. The National Review’s editorial board called upon readers to support the Miller campaign. Gov. Palin Tweeted about the editorial at 17:15 (5:15 PM) AKDT.
