Schwarzenegger has killed many guys.

BUT DEY WERE ALL BAD

Stevens is up by roughly 4000 votes with 99% precincts reporting.

Stevens gets reelected. Wow. Alaskans really are dopes.

no more so that the state that elected a dead guy or Louisanna reelecting freezer-cash guy. "Everybody is a crook except our guy" seems to be popular among states, as long as thier guy brings home the bacon.

That was the yardstick. How much do we send to Washington? How much do we receive back?

Per TPM:

Seems I may have been wrong (and happy to be wrong) in saying that Sarah Palin would appoint a new senator if Ted Stevens wins tonight and then has to resign to spend more time with his prison cell. Apparently Alaska law was recently changed (after the Murkowski ridiculousness) so that a special election would have to be called. We'll try to bring you more on that, with details, shortly. This ADN article from late October has a few more details.

Wow. Maybe Alaska should secede afterall.

Not to mention a city that consistantly re-elects a corrupt mayor with 80% of the vote, or has had 3 straight governors indicted (or will soon enough).
