Breaking News: Ted Stevens Loses Alaska Re-Election Bid
Email This Post
The vote counting has been completed in Alaska’s race for Ted Stevens’ Senate seat and Mark Begich, the Democrat candidate, was announced the winner. The spread came down to 3,724 votes and with only 2,500 overseas ballots left to be counted the divide is unbeatable for Stevens.
While I felt that Stevens, if re-elected, should have resigned from the Senate in light of his felony conviction it is an unfortunate turn for Republicans as Governor Palin won’t have the chance to handpick Stevens’ replacement. This loss also moves Democrats one seat closer to the dangerous 60 seat count with 58 seats in their column. Chambliss’ run-off in GA and Coleman’s recount in MN will be critical as the loss of those two will give Democrats 60 seats.
