Alaska Senate Race: Ted Stevens Beats Mark Begich

[MAD-AS-HELL]

prediction..he’ll die in office when his car hits a moose when he is back in AK and Palin will take over!

[goldstategop]

The Democrats can expel him but Alaska will just send another Republican up in his place. If they want to get partisan, next year is going to be very ugly. All in all, a good thing indeed.

Ted Stevens wins.

Oh, the irony.

[BornToBeAmerican]

And that is all they have worry about? Sheesh!!

[How can a convicted felon be reelected to office in a year which favors Democrats?]

Perhaps they are not as heavily innudated with illegal immigrants and acorn democrat socialists as the rest of America is now. It is just a matter of time.

It is time to remember God and pray and humble ourselves lest we all are destroyed together.

Amazing. This country keeps electing crooks.

Bush can give him a pardon on the way out just to shove it in the Rat's faces.

[Witch-king of Angmar]

To outsiders in the lower 48 states, we have difficulty understanding the result. How can a convicted felon be reelected to office in a year which favors Democrats?

Perhaps you should ask Ted Kennedy's constituents.

[longtermmemmory]

The question is how much will Reid and Pelosi push “power sharing” for Obama.

[lewisglad]

What is the Senate procedure on that if Bush pardons Stevens? Does that mean resignation is removed from the table...

[tobyhill]

I'm not sure?

Bush can give him a pardon on the way out just to shove it in the Rat's faces.

LOL!! That is hilarious. But I'm with Governor Palin. CUT the corruption, not reinforce it.

[lewisglad]

I suppose the Rats could still censure Stevens, but not force him to resign under Senate rules with a full pardon.

[catfish1957]

Most ironic is that this one event might prevent them from getting their magical 60 seats. Esp. since it looks like we may lose both MN and OR.

[catfish1957]

Not sure of the protocols, but wouldn’t be great if she appointed herself as Senator. Sweet Revenge.

[LS]

Do you think Sarah will appoint me to be the new senator from Alaska? I’m not a resident, but hell, we don’t have rules any more and I’m willing to serve.

[LS]

Really. Isn’t this disgusting? If there was one Republican who in a sane world should lose, it would be Stevens.

[Titanites]

Isn’t this disgusting?

Not at all. The vote I cast, along with a lot of other Republicans in Alaska, was for the sake of the party. It was not an endorsement of Stevens, who will get tossed from the senate. Then the governor, who is a Republican, can appoint a Republican replacment. If Stevens hadn't been reelected, we'd be stuck with a Democrat.
