She is growing her entitlement vote, so don't count her out. She will also have the public sector unions. Private employment is dwindling except for medical jobs which also want everybody who works to have to by force of government buy the medical insurance that they tell you to buy. And add medicaid to the national debt until the states have to pay for it. At which time the state will go broke. And Murkowski will retire. Excellent timing for a career politician.
