I agree, and seeing the situation on the ground first hand, I think a Stevens aquittal will win him the election. My prediction that the indictment would cause his downfall was a bit early, I didnt know his trial would be that soon.

I am not convinced at all the courts are in his pocket. This is coming down from a GOP led Justice Department, towards a Senator that has been very loyal to the President. He asked for the quick trial. The right to a speedy trial is granted in the bill of rights

They (FBI) raided his Girdwood home a year ago to investigate the work done. This investigation has been ongoing for nearly 2 years.

This sums up the whole thing. If the Justice Department didnt think they had an absolutely slam dunk case, they wouldnt have done this, especially this close to the election. 6 months ago, the Stevens seat was virtually a lock to be GOP. Now there is a good chance it will go DEM, but that is hinged into a conviction.
