Ted Stevens Loses Senate Race

Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out:
"It’s a terrible birthday present for Ted Stevens: The Senate’s longest-serving Republican has lost his bid for a seventh term. Stevens, who turns 85 today, went down to Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich by a 3,724-vote margin, with nearly 90,000 absentee and early ballots counted two weeks after Election Day. Begich is the first Democrat in Alaska’s congressional delegation in nearly 30 years, and his win gives Democrats 58 Senate seats."
Ever since Alsaka started bribing giving out oil equity checks to their residents, the Republicans had a strangle hold on the quasi-socialist state. Let's face it, a felon like Stevens had a chance at winning this race.

This really sends a message to the collapsing GOP.
