Why do you feel the need to degrade everyone? You would have an an aneurysm if I referred to Obama as the "Chicago Darkie." Show some class.

It's not the same thing...It was a McCain aide who characterized the infamous shopping spree as “Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast.”

The AP has now officially called the race for Begich, ending Palin's dream of taking over Stevens' senate seat since, should he have won, he would have had to resign or be expelled. So, in essence, this is another defeat for the beleaguered Governor of Alaska.

I agree clearly shows the Republicans had it rigged, but we found out and stoped it. As he did not have the votes, so they set it up to look like he did, but failed.

since when did we have to be nice to convicted felons?
Interestingly enough no one was talking about Ted Stevens in my comments.
This has been an interesting day. Stevens turned 85years young today. He lost his Senate seat to Mark Begich, but it is probably all for the best. I am just glad this will clear up a bunch of questions, and everyone but Ted is breathing a sigh of relief.
Senate Republicans wont have to vote on him losing his membership in the GOP conference. http://www.adn.com/news/politics/fbi/stevens/story/593157.html
Sarah will remain in place as the Governor. Where she has so far faced a cautious reception from Alaskans.
Begich goes to DC. In a way taking up the reigns left off when his father
Rep. Nick Begich and Rep. Boggs from Louisiana, were lost in a small plane somewhere along the gulf coast of Alaska. That was 35 years ago, Mark was about 9 years old when it happened.
Then there leaves Uncle Ted. In a way, all Alaskans knew this day would come. When Ted would no longer be in DC for us. I acknowledge being a part of his defeat, but for Ted it is ultimately better this way. He lost, he can retire quietly, and take his pardon from Bush which I have little doubt will be coming. Also, he keeps his Senate benefits, and his name remains on the Anchorage International Airport.
As a side note, when they made the push to name ANC after Ted, I thought it was a bad idea to name landmarks and that sort of thing after living people.

was not that the one you said he insulted?
No, it was directed at Sarah Palin.

What is wrong with Alaska?
Today is November 19th, the election was November 4th and they still have not finished counting the votes, the news said they still have not counted the absentee votes.
For a state with such few people you would think they could count the freakin votes by now.

I heard that tonight, but still my gosh why did it take so long to count the votes, when they claim there are not that many people there.
I am glad he did, most dont want to see it but I want Obama to have full power to do what ever he and the libs think will work, lets try it and get it over with so we can get on to business
That is a good question. I will be starting a thread about a similar issue I would encourage you to participate in.
Yes it is over. The chapter on Uncle Ted is closed. I can only hope he gets a Presidential Pardon. Here it is from the hometown paper.

A few things to keep in mind. There are 675,000 people scattered over 572,000 miles. Think about the greater Portland Oregon scattered across Washington, Idaho, California, Oregon, and Nevada combined. So the socio-geographic conditions are part of the reason, also keep in mind that we have several thousand deployed armed service members. Also, tens of thousands or more that work away from thier homes either on a fishing boat, mine site, or in an oil field.
I have a serious dislike in the idea of one party having a controlling majority while having the WH. Personally, I would rather political parties be taken out of the equation for the most part. Id prefer if membership in the GOP or DEM parties respectively should have as much signifigance on the ballot as being a Rotarian or an Elks Club member.
