Down the ballot: The undecided races

I cannot believe that Alaska re-elected (apparently) Ted Stevens. It's incomprehensible to me.

He is now a convicted felon. A felon. And yet, the people in his state think he's still doing a boffo job. Unreal.

The Dems have at least 56 votes. I think this is a definate working majority, and if the Republicans do choose to fillibuster, I hope the Dems can at least swing a few.

Is "Felon" Ted Stevens finally getting a conscience? Bet he doesn't want the ignomy of being expelled from the senate like so much garbage. He needs to do the right thing and step down of his own volition so there can be a special election which hopefullu Mark Begich will win.

Not too surprising that there are still tight races that have yet to be decided because they are so close. Seems really strange that there were less votes cast in Alaska than in 2004, makes me think there has been some voter supporession efforts done by "Sinner" Sarah. Also Georgia seems to have some votes missing which could affect the outcome. Yep voter fraud in red states committed by the repugnant ones.

Yes We Did!

MINNESOTA: "One Senate candidate says the voters have spoken. The other says the electorate still needs to be heard. In the end, experts say, it could be the courts or even the Senate that speaks the loudest on Minnesota's unsettled Senate race."

----------------------------

And the difference in the vote count keeps on getting closer. Right now the difference is 236 votes.

One has to wonder about How Alaskans see the law.Stevens convicted on seven counts of non- discloser and still they voted to return him to washinton.200,000 in gifts and labor and BBQ grills.I guess in Alaska thats not that big of a deal.One can see where a person of limited education could get elected to Governor.Not only does Big oil buy grills they can also sway an election. Norm Colemen has declared himself the winner,something that he learned from G.Bush.But this time I think Norm is in for a big surprised.They found a couple hundred votes for Al Franken and they haven't started the recount.

We have lived this nightmare before...the only time a democracy doesn't work is when there is a tie...but at least the founding fathers understood we all hang to together whether we like it or not...
Obama must console the nation as FDR did and bring long range justification and purpose...Americans can sacrifice and bear many burdens but we all must understand we are in this together..any greedy wagoneers and any prevenance of mission WILL NOT be tolerated..Unity will be our call and liberty will only serve our destiny..

Both Stevens and Jefferson (when he is convicted) should be removed from their respective houses of Congress. This hurts Congress' reputation in which it tolerates criminals that have been fully convicted of corruption charges.

I'm thinking something funny is going on in Alaska. Voter turnout was DOWN? Seriously?

The Governor of their state, a woman, two corrupt legislators, the first black president, an increase in population, and the highest national turnout of all time, and turnout was DOWN.

I cannot fathom that.

Again, something just doesn't smell right in Alaska.

Minnesotans are anxious about this senate race, and I think the near-tie in votes reflects the attitude here toward the viciously negative campaigning that occurred here. I certainly hope that whichever of the two wins will consider that for his campaign six years from now.

With Stevens' election, Sideshow Sarah's apparent lack of knowledge in current affairs, geography, foreign policy makes sense. Apparently a LOT of low-information voters in Alaska. Including their current governor.

ALASKA, THE PETRO-STATE, SHOULD BE RETURNED TO ITS FORMER TERRITORIAL STATUS WHILE THE F.B.I. INVESTIGATES EVERY ELECTED OFFICAL IN THE STATE. IT IS ONE MASSIVE BALL OF CORRUPTION, BOUGHT & PAID FOR BY THE OIL CORPORATIONS.
