So Karl Rove may or may not have been kidding when he doomed Lisa Murkowski's write-in campaign because of Alaskans' inability to spell her name, but he might be onto something if her own campaign is any indication. Ben Smith of Politico points to a screenshot of Murkowski's latest ad that points people to lisamurkwski.com. The ad has since been pulled, notes RealClearPolitics. Alas, the incorrectly spelled one is now an actual website, too, though not a very pro-Murkowski one.
