Sarah Palin could end up with Ted Stevens Senate seat. Read how.

I got this off of www.electoral-vote.com

Alaska has another Senate race whose winner is in doubt. At present, Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) holds a 4000-vote lead over Anchorage mayor Mark Begich. However, 4% of the precincts haven't reported yet and there are 70,000 absentee ballots yet to be counted. A Stevens victory could have national implications, however, as Democrats will likely try to expel the convicted senator from the Senate if he wins and Republicans would be forced to make a difficult vote on the expulsion motion. If he is expelled, there will be a special election to fill the seat and many people expect Sarah Palin to run and win, giving her four years of national exposure before a possible 2012 run for the White House. Not all Republicans are happy at seeing someone with such high unfavorables and who was repeatedly mocked as a lightweight with expensive taste in designer clothing becoming the de facto party leader. Once you have acquired a bad public image, it is hard to shake it. Just ask President Quayle.

1. I want Sarah to be the Repuke standard bearer...

That means they'll keep losing elections until they get their heads out of their ass and reign in the social cons/crazies in the party.

2. Too late.

Fox News already threw her under the bus.

5. Do they even get TV up there?

After all they voted for a convicted Felon. Do they even know whe was convicted?
