How the hell is Stevens leading in the AK Senate race?...

[SidDithers]

There are that many Alaskans who think it's OK for a convicted felon to represent them?

1. I can only conclude that Alaskans are actually in favor of corruption.

2. Come on moose lovers, Ted is not even hot.

Look for Bush to hand out a pardon for Ted faster then he can put a for-sale sign on his fake ranch in Crawford.

3. use it anytime a repub hits you with values bullshit

as is
Values--the party that recently reelected a convicted con in the us senate-that sleeze ball
ted stevens--wants to talk Values??????

[wolverinez]

4. Isn't that the same state that voted for Palin?

Makes sense when you think about that.

[ipfilter]

5. Perhaps they consider a vote for Stevens as a vote

for Palin. Or perhaps they are just incredibly idiotic.

[Jennicut]

6. This is Alaska we are talking about-all you need is an R in front of your name

[rdublue]

7. Is there any precident that they could/would appoint Palin to that seat?

[napi21]

8. My guess is the same reason people seem to always vote for

their OLD but long time Sen/Rep. Look at low long SC kept reelecting Strom Thrumond, even after it was obvious he was no longer coherent! When I lived in SC, I asked WHY people keep voting for him, and I was told "because of all the great things he did for our state in the past."

[comtec]

9. which is of course stupid...

because it ignores what he SHOULD be doing for their FUTURE!

[soupkitchen]

10. Proving Sarah really did reform Alaskan politics

Not.

[TZ]

11. Because Stevens keeps the money flowing to Alaska

Biggest pork barrell spender in Congress perhaps. And oh because Stevens SAID he hasn't been convicted of anything! You know it was all a Democratic plot!

[BleedingHeartRN]

12. To keep that seat

If/when he goes to prison. Mooselini gets to handpick his replacement. Senator Todd Palin, perhaps? :puke:
