The Murkowskis have been powers in Alaska for years. She won as a write-in candidate for pete's sake. I understand lots of people like to use presidential voting as an indicator, but it's not. Voters can and do split tickets (see Maine). AFAIK, Murkowski is well-known as an independent thinker. Voters care about who can bring home the bacon. For at least the next two years, her chances of doing that are better being with the majority than the minority.
