Wow-Stevens is out! After all the ballots were counted, he lost to Begich by around 3,000 votes!

I'm so glad, and not just because he's a Republican, believe it or not! I think it's a little pathetic that a convicted felon could be serving in our Senate. And it was CLOSE.

(Which is not to say all politicians aren't criminals, but still...they haven't all been convicted! )

I am shocked. He may be a crook by man did he bring Alaska a lot of money over the years, I thought he would be there until the day he died.

So do I, that's a real head scratcher imo. And it might not have been quite so close if there had not been early voting. Many votes had already been cast before the dirt on him came out.

Oh, I am sure that there are many of them on all sides doing all kinds of neferious things right now that we don't know about yet!  I just think of them as future convicted felons!

The reason those people voted for Stevens was to keep the seat Republican (figuring Ted would be forced to step down). It is remarkble that he got as many votes as he did.

What a clown.
