Libertarians weigh Murkowski run

At the end of the day Kohlaas recognizes that having Murkowski run as a member of the Libertarian Party would certainly “confuse some people because she is not libertarian.”

“But that happens all the time. Our job is to educate and get the philosophy out there,” he said. “If we decide to do this it will advance the Party and believe me we won’t do this for nothing.”

Kohlhaas said that it will ultimately be up to David Hasse to decide if he would be willing to step aside.

“Yesterday, he was inclined to do this but today maybe not,” Kohlhaas said.

When TheDC spoke with Haase, the Libertarian candidate refused to respond to questions about the Murkowski rumors, deflecting questions with rejoinders about mercantilism and fiat currency.

“You know I am in real estate and you never answer a ‘would-ya-take’ question,” he said refusing to answer any hypothetical.

Haase is sure that it is a moot point anyway.

“I suspect Lisa will make up the difference with absentee ballots,” he said.

The winner of the GOP primary race will face Democrat nominee Scott McAdams in the November election.
