Many politicians over come lies or mis-statements. The real issue that created the opportunity for Murkowski was Miller being inexperienced and too far right. Conservative business people in particular want what they consider a reasoned voice in Washington - they do not want an extremist who they think would be considered a joke. Miller lost that base and it will cost him the Senate seat.
