aka the Alaska Independence Party.  

U.S. Senate

438 of 438 precincts reporting | 11/19/2008 3:00 am 
Begich, Mark	DEM	150,728	47.76%
Bird, Bob	AI	13,113	4.16%
Gianoutsos, Ted	NA	1,375	0.44%
Haase, Fredrick LIB	2,482	0.79%
Stevens, Ted	REP	147,004	46.58%

Conventional wisdom is Bird pulled votes from Uncle Ted.

Hey Sarah Palin?  Your husband just helped squash your chances
of being U.S. Senator!  You betcha! *wink*

Thanks Bob Bird!  Great job!

6. Those Votes Cost Uncle Teddy...
