Down the ballot: Begich's lead increases

Thats what the Democrats like. They like people to be able to vote before, during, and after election day. That way, they know how many votes they need to "create" in order to win.

Wasn't the election 2 weeks ago? The votes are not counted yet?!?! Are those Democrats counting the votes again? Who has the magnifying glass this time?

There are about 24,000 ballots left to be counted, coming from Anchorage, Southeast Alaska and the Kenai Peninsula. The state will tally them all Tuesday.

I'm just askin'... what's taking so long? I know Alaska is big -- but jeez.

Not that I'm overwhelmingly concerned with the outcome. I'm just curious to see if AK residents elect a felon as a senator.

Still unlikely but possible that the Dems will get to 60 and begin their total rundown of the U.S.
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Even if Stevens is re-elected, does anyone really believe him will get to serve in the Senate? If he does, I feel all hell will break loose. He needs to be accountable for his actions, not applauded!!!

Stevens is a crook. But so are Jefferson and Rangle, but yet, they won again, right? At least Alaska has the common sense not to elect a crook. Doesn't seem to be a problem in New York or Louisiana.

Hey Obama. Let's not keep having the same guys and gals fight tour after tour overseas. Bring back the draft.

>>>ALASKA: Per the Anchorage Daily News, “Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens is in grave danger of losing re-election after Mark Begich widened his lead to 1,022 votes Friday. More than 90 percent of the votes are now counted, and Friday's count of absentee and questioned ballots could have been Stevens' best chance to make a comeback. That's because it included all the ballots left from the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, where Stevens has enjoyed his most unwavering support.”

Anyone hear that? That's the sound of God SLAMMING the door in Sarah Palin's face. Though I doubt we've heard the last of her. She's the political equivalent of herpes. Just when you think you're rid of her, she keeps coming back.

A Begich victory would provide the greatest benefit of all:

Sarah Palin gets nowhere near the U.S. Senate. (Please, let it be so!)

If Begich wins the chances of the American people having to put up with the squwaking moose momma from Wasilla are going to dramatically go down and that is fine with me.

It is starting to look like Stevens can retire in the house he didn't report. Well, that will have to wait for a few years if he survives prison. Will Alaska hold a state funeral for a convict even if it is Stevens?
