From talking points memo, via Reuters.
Now, it seems to me that with this race trending as close as it was, somewhere around 45-43 Begich, I would think that this might tilt it our way. Call me crazy, but being criminally indicted might be something that prevents your election.
538.com shows Alaska as already a "lean Democratic" with Begich registering an 8 point lead in a Rasmussenpoll from a few days ago. I think this one gets stretched to double digits quickly.
Question: Could Stevens even resign his post? Or quit campaigning? Are there any Senate rules as to such a thing? Anyone know?
