STERLING, Alaska -- Sen. Ted Stevens, days after a Washington, D.C., jury found him guilty of seven felonies, stood in the cold outside a senior center and rejected the possibility that a single Republican supporter in Alaska has turned against him.

"I don't believe it," Stevens said Friday. "Not one person has said that to me."

...

If anyone can get elected to the U.S. Senate after a guilty verdict, it's Stevens, said Gerald McBeath, political science professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

...

(the Democrat candidate Mark) Begich, 46, had his own rally in Homer on Saturday, trailed by a CNN crew. He spoke to about 150 supporters at a local coffee shop. Most of those attending were Democrats, who were smiling like famine survivors sitting down to a big meal.

Really?

Here are our latest updates on Senate races around the country from Nov.1 and Oct. 31.
