Not only that, but she's been hearing from her constituents.  She opposed confirmation until she didn't.  When your tit/shlong is in a wringer, you don't keep cranking.

FWIW She was the only GOP Sen. to oppose Kavanaugh.  I see (hope!) a primary in her future.

https://www.newsweek.com/gop-senator-lisa-murkowski-flips-says-shell-vote-yes-barrett-supreme-court-nomination-1541910

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski announced Saturday afternoon she will vote "yes" on Judge Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court nomination, despite just two days before signaling she would vote against President Donald Trump's nominee.

The Alaska GOP senator's complete reversal leaves only Maine Senator Susan Collins as the only other Republican who may decide to vote against Barrett. The female Republican senators were the only members of the upper chamber who had previously expressed their desire to push the SCOTUS nomination back until after their respective senate elections.

On Thursday, just two days ago, Murkowski expressed her opposition to the Senate trying to jam her nomination through before Election Day. But during Saturday's rare Senate session, she declared that Barrett should be judged based on her qualifications and is set to be confirmed.

"I believe that the only way to put us back on the path of appropriate consideration of judicial nominees is to evaluate Judge Barrett as we would want to be judged. On the merits of her qualifications. And we do that when that final questions comes before us. And when it does, I will be a yes," Murkowski said on the Senate floor.

"I had hoped that if we were going to be at this moment in time just over a week out from our national elections, that we would be here on the floor debating - debating the merits of a [stimulus] relief bill. And in my home state of Alaska, as in so many states around the country, we're seeing unprecedented numbers [of new coronavirus] cases now," Murkowski continued.

Last Thursday, a congressional pool report spoke with the Alaska GOP senator and she gave a very different view just after Barrett's nomination advanced out of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

"I've shared for a while that I didn't think we should be taking this up until after the election, and I haven't changed," Murkowski said. The senator was then explicitly asked whether she was still planning on being a "no" vote during the full senate vote, to which she replied, "That means I haven't changed my mind on that."

Regardless of Murkowski or Collins voting against Barrett, Republicans still have the simple majority votes needed to confirm Barrett, which is likely to happen Monday evening. With Murkowski's sudden flip-flop, the expected vote is 52-48.

Murkowski perhaps buckled to the pressure from her Republican colleagues including the president himself, who has attacked any dissenting voices in the GOP majority senate. In June, Trump tweeted: "Few people know where they'll be in two years from now, but I do, in the Great State of Alaska (which I love) campaigning against Senator Lisa Murkowski. She voted against HealthCare, Justice Kavanaugh, and much else."

There is a lot of truth to this.  You must also add that it is an indication that she sees the Republicans will keep the Senate.

I think this is signaling that Lisa wants to run again.  Mitch has the votes without Lisa.  The dems know it.  The dems need Lisa, so they are giving her a pass on this one because they lost this battle.  

If Lisa votes no anyway, and lord knows she wants to, it gives more ammo to Lisa's primary republican political opponent to use against her that she is not a loyal republican.

The dems know Lisa has been an excellent RINO for them, and this is their chess move.

Furthermore, the national republican party swamp creatures do not want her to lose either.  That was proven when they came up here and helped Lisa by sabotaging Joe Miller's campaign and helping Lisa win a write in campaign after Joe won the primary against her.

The swamp needs her, and that's all this is for BOTH sides.

I bet no one in this country -- besides Hillary -- was more angry to see Trump win than Ginsberg.  I'd love to have spent election night at her home.  She may have been legally smart, but she let her hubris destroy everything she built.

Yes, Palin is seriously considering it. And Murkowski was primaried before, but then went on to win as a written-in candidate quite questionably. The courts ruled that votes would count for her even if they were misspelled, among other things. Murkowski has never cleared 50% in any of her winning Senatorial elections.
