Spending by outside groups may help determine the re-election chances of incumbent Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski who�s battling for her political life in the nation�s Last Frontier.
With Murkowski, the perceived front-runner in Alaska�s U.S. Senate race, not even on the ballot, it�s close to chaos for pollsters. But that hasn�t stopped outside groups from making significant investments in a state with cheap media markets.
All told, outside groups trying to influence the state�s general election have spent $2.4 million and counting on independent expenditures, such as TV ads, mailers, phone banks or canvassers that explicitly advocate for or against a federal candidate that are not coordinated with any candidate�s campaign, according to a Center for Responsive Politics analysis.
That�s on top of $573,300 that was spent during August's GOP primary, in which Murkowski lost to attorney Joe Miller, a favorite of the Tea Party and her nemesis, former Republican Gov. Sarah Palin. Nevertheless, Murkowski continued on as a write-in candidate, trying to become the first politician in more than 50 years to win a Senate seat via a write-in candidacy. (Strom Thurmond of South Carolina was the last, in 1954.)
The National Republican Senatorial Committee, which endorsed Miller after Murkowski�s defeat, spent more than $311,900 touting Miller last week alone.
The national party committee has also spent another $91,000 and counting attacking Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Scott McAdams, the current mayor of Sitka.
In Murkowski�s corner, a new �super PAC� called Alaskans Standing Together has spent $1.26 million on independent expenditures aiding Murkowski.
As a �Super PAC,� officially known as an independent expenditure-only committee, Alaskans Standing Together can raise unlimited amounts of money from individuals and corporations for political advertisements and other expenses -- so long as it doesn�t contribute that cash directly to any politician. And Alaskans Standing Together�s contributions have come exclusively from corporations -- Alaska Native corporations, as the Sunlight Foundation recently reported.
Another new group, American Action Network, has also spent money on Murkowski�s behalf.
American Action Network is a 501(c)4 nonprofit group organized under U.S. tax code as a social welfare organization. It is headed by former Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.), who narrowly lost a re-election bid to Democrat Al Franken in 2008.
American Action Network shares office space with American Crossroads and Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies, the conservative, big-spending outfits heavily promoted by Republican operatives Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie.
Neither American Crossroads nor Crossroads GPS has yet spent money in the Alaskan Senate race, one of only a handful of high-profile Senate races where the groups have yet to invest, as OpenSecrets Blog previously reported.
American Action Network, meanwhile, has spent $20,000 in support of Murkowski.
During the course of the primary and general elections so far, groups spent $1.36 million supporting Murkowski in outside messages, the Center�s research indicates.
Political committees, meanwhile, have spent $1.56 million supporting Miller during his primary and general election bids, the Center�s research indicates.
In addition to the political action committee of the Tea Party Express, which helped deliver Miller�s unexpected victory, other conservative groups backing Miller with independent expenditures include the National Right to Life Committee, the Susan B. Anthony List, the Family Research Council, South Carolina Republican Sen. Jim DeMint's leadership PAC, the Club for Growth and the Club for Growth�s new �super PAC.�
The only spending targeting McAdams so far has been the $91,000 from the NRSC. No liberal groups have yet to report independent expenditures on his behalf.
Not even the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has reported independent expenditures in Alaska. Instead, the group has during the past two weeks pumped money into Senate contests in Illinois, Connecticut, Nevada, West Virginia, Washington, Colorado, Pennsylvania and Kentucky.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a 501(c)6 business association that isn�t required to disclose its donors, ranks as the top outside-spending group that is not a party committee, such as the Democratic National Committee or Republican National Committee. The Chamber has spent $35 million this election cycle on �electioneering communications,� targeted broadcast messages that include a visual or audio reference to federal candidates but don�t expressly advocate for or against those candidates.
