Verbatim

What happened in my particular race, you had the Tea Party Express, this California-based group, come in at the last minute in a campaign, run a mudslinging, smear — just a terrible, terrible campaign, with lies and fabrications and mischaracterization.They came in, they dumped $600,000 into a small market here in Alaska, and they absolutely clearly influenced the outcome of that election … I don’t think that it’s particularly helpful [for Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.)] to undercut fellow Republicans, but as I say, it’s his prerogative … I think that he has made people uncomfortable. I think that he has kind of rattled the cages. Whether it advances to a full-on civil war, I don’t know.

– Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) on CNN’s “State of the Union,” on Sunday.
