According to the official Alaskan election
website Ted Stevens is now behind Mark Begich by 814 votes.
Begich, Mark 132196
Stevens, Ted 131382
It appears Teddy is a FAIL. A Steven’s campaign spokesman said he doubts it will turn around as the trend seems to be going for Begich.
OTOH, Don Young (R) has a substantial lead over Ethan Berkowitz (D) so it seems Alaskans still have warm spot in their hearts for felons.
That puts Democrats at 57, and from all appearances the Democrats will let that slime LIEberman back into the fold ( I hope they got some serious concessions from that jerk – like STFU from now on) so maybe we can recruit a scared rethug or two to back us up – I doubt the rethugs have retained their rigid party discipline after the shit storm they just experienced.
Another radio update says Begich now is leading by over 1000 votes.
It doesn’t seem likely that Sarah the moose girl is going to get any Senate mojo for 2012.
