with just 8,000 votes remaining

Notice that they never know how many votes are still out until the Democrat takes the lead?

Pretty soon the Republican in the race for any public office will have to win by 100,000 votes or the Democrat automatically wins...

Thanks Uncle Ted for this last act of damage to the GOP. Had he resigned, we might have had a chance to run someone less corrupt.

Once again voters find a reason to vote for what they don’t want.

The GOP could have won this seat, except for Sarah Palin telling people not to vote for Stevens.

Thanks to Sarah Palin, we now get a Crat Senator from Alaska.

Thanks for nothing, Sarah.

Looks like Begich was able to rally up alot of ACORN votes to slip under the table.

Because elections are too important to leave to real voters.

Good riddance, Senator “Bridge to Nowhere”. Thanks for crapping away your party and your country.

Nick Begich (senior) had six children, named Mark, Nichelle, Tom, Stephanie, Paul, and Nick.

"In 1972, he faced the Republican state senator Don Young. On October 16, 1972, he was aboard a twin engine Cessna 310 along with Congressman Hale Boggs of Louisiana when the plane disappeared during a flight from Anchorage to Juneau. Also on board were Begich's aide, Russell Brown, and the pilot, Don Jonz;[2] the four were heading to a campaign fundraiser for Begich. In an enormous search effort, Coast Guard, Navy, and Air Force planes searched for the party. On November 24, 1972, after thirty-nine days, the search was abandoned. Neither the wreckage of the plane nor the pilot's and passengers' remains were ever found." [Wikipedia]

A regular guest on CoastToCoastAM Nick Begich [the son that is, after all it is CoastToCoastAM, :)] has descrbed some unusual things about the search for survivors.

An Internet source

"The Washington-based newspaper, Roll Call, which reports on Capitol Hill, found information through the Freedom of Information Act that two FBI telexes had come in from the FBI office in Los Angeles, indicating that someone had contacted the FBI and that they had knowledge of the whereabouts of the plane and that two people were still living at the site and they gave the coordinates. This was followed up by another telex two days later in which the FBI said that they had verified the authenticity of the source and established their credibility. The source was working in surveillance technologies for an undisclosed firm and they had located the plane. . . conspiracy theorists have reported that Boggs wasn't happy with the [Warren] commission's findings and was pushing for the investigation to be reopened at the time of his death. However, according to his [Boggs] daughter Cokie Roberts, the nationally known television journalist, she told listeners to a talk radio show in April 2004 that her father had no problems with the commission's finding . . . ."

Maybe not the most crooked election in American history, but close to it.

Pretty soon time to move on to the other box.

The Dims steal elections like the sun rises in the East: It’s a given. What’s really disgusting is that everyone knows it, but refuses to do anything about it.

Welcome to the brave new world.

Am I figuring this right?

If Franken, Martin and Begich win the RATS will have their magic 60?

If Stevens were to resign before a winner is declared, would Palin get to appoint a replacement?

I think the only hope for the U.S. is a miltary coup. If that isn’t in the offing, then a revolution is likely on the horizon, in which case God watch over us all.
