From the News-Miner:
And Shea used the question to argue that Murkowski's appointment to Congress by her father gives her less of an ability to wield influence there.
"I'm not carrying Frank's baggage, and I'll tell you, on both sides of the aisle, Frank has baggage," he said.
After the debate, Murkowski said that she's never felt slighted in Congress because of the matter, and argued that voters should look past it.
Miller declined to bring up Murkowski's appointment during the debate, though his campaign is partially based on the argument that Murkowski can't defeat Knowles because of lingering resentment over it. Miller said afterward he didn't see the need to state the obvious.
"This was a discussion among Republicans here, and quite frankly, I've talked about it quite a bit," he said. "I don't need to keep bringing it up because people have it on their minds."
