Please tell me Ted Stevens didn't win reelection.
Please tell me there are more votes to count from a Democratic stronghold. Good lord, what kind of kooks are voting for this guy?

1. The kind of kooks that...
...vote for a corrupt Congressman, Don Young (Abromoff)
...vote for a corrupt Governor, Sarah Palin (Troopergate, etc.)
...vote for a corrupt Senator, Lisa Murkowski (nepotism)

There is not a major elected official in Alaska that is not riddled with corruption. No wonder Sarah Palin was the most highly approved governor in the nation!

5. I can see it happening
There's no doubt that they will be trotting her out there again, they are that stupid.

But they'll work on improving her resume and sending her to the Senate is the only feasible way they can do that.

4. This is how dumb Alaska is; the CNN exit poll that asks if race played a factor guess which state
had the highest vote for McCain

ALASKA

Worse than West Virginia

6. Yes, but the good news is ...
Edited on Wed Nov-05-08 09:13 AM by ShortnFiery
The former Governor (Murkowski) was as bat shit crazy egomaniac as Caribou Barbie is now. Because Murkowski selected his daughter (nepotism anyone?) to the Senate a few years ago, the Alaskan legislators had a shit-fit and changed the law to requiring a "special election."

Nope, the ho from Wasilla will not be able to appoint his replacement to the US Senate.

God Bless The Alaska State Legislator for that small ray of sunshine. :patriot: :applause:
