Ted Stevens

#1 11-02-2008, 10:59 AM

I cant wait to see if Alaska puts
this guy back in the Senate.

I would like to know how Scuds would classify
this state if Stevens wins. Cant be he-haw... ex confederate
trash...

Tuesday should be the most interesting set of elections
in my lifetime. Al Franken running in Minnesota? Against
a wrestler.

What a country...

Morton has made his decision.
rodents are allowed to vote early in Ohio.

don't bet on. the dems tried to register anyone and everyone they could and dead people are still voting in places like chicago.

it's all just makes my hair hurt.

i thought i read that stevens opponent was doing well in the polls. i can't believe folks would be dumb enough to vote the guy back in tho, he won't be staying as the senate will be having an ethics hearing, and he'll be booted out.
of course, that would be better for the rep party there if he did win re-election, as their gov would name someone to fill out the term after stevens got expelled.

sen. palin would have a national stage that gov. palin will lack after the election is over.

Yes, people have been paid to register people. Some cheated on their job. They made up some registrations instead of doing their job (and actually registering real people.) When people aren't paid much, the chance is obviously greater that they aren't gunna care about the results. I haven't heard that an agency has intentionally done this. Someone still has to show up with proper i.d., and vote. It's like sending in 5 entries to a contest that you're only allowed to enter once. If you win, you have to have the i.d. of the fake entry that won.

btw: just checked and alaska law is the the governor sets the date for a special election. that has to occur within 90 days of a vacancy.

some debate over whether she can make an interim appointment to fill the vacancy. the people that backed an initiative changing the way federal vacancies were handled in alaska say no, so the state would have only 1 senator until the special election.

any appointment she made would be challenged in hours. but regardless, if begich can't beat a convicted felon, he won't beat palin in a special election.

and she'd have to run. trading alaska governor for alaska senator is a no brainer.

But then she'd be a Warshington' insider

Unless she puts her chair outside in the hall during all the Senate sessions

hmm
well, i like that idea better of having a special election. alaskans can just save themselves the time, trouble and expense by voting for the opponent. but we shall see.

Does it say something about Begich or the Alaskan voters?
Like DC voting Marion Berry back in.

yeah, but that g--d--- bitch set him up.

as for voters...we're all against pork, til one of our own brings it home-they'll probably vote stevens back in because of his ability to get tons of unnecessary funding. it just ticks me off when i start thinking about how much of OUR money gets blown for stupid stuff.

it's a deeply republican state and i think there's true affection for steven's on top of that.

it's not that "big" a state despite geography. there's less than 700,000 people there and half of them live within spitting distance of anchorage.

he's done a lot for the state unlike barry and the d of c. people know him personally on a level those of us living in larger states can't imagine.

i think it's more a family thing that we on the outside can't quite understand.
