Alaska Republican Senate nominee Joe Miller’s former supervisor at an Anchorage law firm says they were all too happy to see him go after his three years at the firm.

Attorney David Shoup of the firm — then called Condon Partnow & Sharrock told Justin Elliott of Salon: “We at this firm were not eager to have him stay, and so when he announced he was leaving, we were relieved.”

Elliott reports that Shoup couldn’t say much about Miller’s time at the firm because of personnel policies.

But though Shoup says he is a registered Democrat who donated to Scott McAdams, he also says “my view of Joe Miller is colored by knowing Joe Miller.”

Miller has also had some trouble in another previous job: He admitted this week that he was disciplined during his time at the Fairbanks North Star Borough for violating the borough’s ethics policy.

The TPM Poll Average shows Miller with 34.5%, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R) with 33.1%, and McAdams with 27.5%.
