[EV_Ares]

ANCHORAGE (AP) — Democrat Mark Begich took a 3-vote lead Wednesday in his effort to topple 40-year Republican Sen. Ted Stevens, a titan of Alaska politics who was convicted of felony charges in a federal trial last month.
Begich, the two-term mayor of Anchorage, began Wednesday down more than 3,200 votes, but closed the gap as officials resumed counting early and absentee ballots.

7. Let's see where the next batch of votes comes from

If they come from the Anchorage area, Begich has it sewn up.

If Begich wins, I believe a lot of Senate Republicans will be thrilled. Stevens is not exactly beloved by his peers.
