SNIP "Despite the guilty verdict, Stevens remains on the ballot in Alaska, where he is locked in a tight race with Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich.

According to the article, if Stevens wins, he can still be expelled by the Senate if 67 senators vote to expel him. |

The sad thing is he will still receive a 6 figure pension.

I just hope the people don't re-elect the guy. It's time for some fresh fish.
