How the hell is Stevens leading in the AK Senate race?... |
|
There are that many Alaskans who think it's OK for a convicted felon to represent them?

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.

5. Perhaps they consider a vote for Stevens as a vote |
|
for Palin. Or perhaps they are just incredibly idiotic.

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."

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!

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