Since Ted Stevens lost, isn't he able to ask for a recount? How do they work in Alaska? :shrug:

1. IIRC, the margin isn't close enough for a state paid recount. |
|
Stevens would have to pay for it with his own money.

4. Begich's lead is such, that Stevens would have to pay for a recount. Do you think |
|
he'd be able to come up with the money to do so? I can put tinfoil on here and say, if deep pocketed Palinites wanted to do a crap shoot for her, they'd give Stevens the money necessary for a recount.
