A Republican might still win the Senate race in Alaska, but it won't be for a lack of trying to sink their chances:

The flood of write-in candidates in the Alaska Senate race was pushed by Big Government's Dan Riehl and the conservative group Conservatives 4 Palin in an attempt to hurt Sen. Lisa Murkowski's own write-in campaign and give Republican nominee (and tea party favorite) Joe Miller a boost.

Beginning on Riehl's Big Government blog and dubbed "Operation Alaska Chaos" by C4P, Miller supporters were encouraged to file as write-in candidates so Murkowski's name would be buried on the official list of candidates. It worked.

Things had been going well for Murkowski's campaign, with the Alaska Supreme Court this week overturning a lower court's ruling that would have prevented voters from seeing a list of write-in candidates when they go to the polls. Now it seems that might have been a mixed blessing for Murkowski.

The filing deadline for write-in candidates was yesterday, and the full list came out today, with well over 100 names.

And though it's unclear how many names are related to the conservative effort to bury Murkowski's name, Riehl wrote an urgent post on Andrew Breitbart's Big Government yesterday that called for high write-in turnout: "If you're an Alaska resident and qualified to run for Senate, Big Government wants you to take action today to highlight the chaos brought about by Lisa Murkowski's seemingly unending quest for power with her write-in campaign. But you must act today."

So, they've managed to bury Murkowski's name in a flood of write-in candidate choices. And while TPM's tracking poll still shows Democratic candidate McAdams behind, it's not clear if they include the two latest polls direct out of Alaska - which show Millers support all but collapsed, and McAdams surging ahead of Miller by 6 points.
