Breaking.
Dow drops 218 points.
This is how the dems will get their fillabuster proof majority.
We cannot turn our backs on these people. Ted Stevens is not guilty.
There goes election.
Never mind.
Doubtful Zero can use this as a campaign issue. Sarah was outfront demanding Stevens come clean.
so what. just get out and vote and get our candidate in the white house. otherwise we may as well go live in cuba.

Dow drops 218 points.
all because of Stevens?
rediculous.
Good. He was scum.
His selfishness hurt us all.
**Dow drops 218 points.**
And if OBAMA pulls out this election, I’m expecting to see the DOW drop TO 218!!
BS.
Si
Palin get to appoint his replacement.
There goes that seat. Thanks for not stepping aside before the primary you corrupt selfish jerk!
Ted Stevens is an old worn out little man that should have retired a long time ago. And I will never defend a porker on his level.
So I guess Colin Powell’s endorsement of Sen. Stevens didn’t do anything positive?
It was dropping before the announcement.
on stevens being found guilty...wow they are touchy at the markets...it is rather unbelievable though that it was up over 200 early this afternoon and then slowly made its way back down to just over the start only to drop like a rock in the last 1/2 hour once again...
“Palin get to appoint his replacement.:
Doesn’t matter much. This is an election year for Ted. Palin’s pick would only be there for a couple months. This probably hands the seat to the Democrats.
Interesting.
Backup plan for Gov. Palin.
If McCain loses the election and Stevens wins the Senate.
Stevens could then resign and Gov. Palin could appoint herself to the Senate.
Just something to think about.
All the media needed to revive the “culture of corruption” narrative...just in time for the election.
Of course, Sarah Palin gets no credit for fighting corruption in Alaska. NONE.
WTF are you talking about?
WASHINGTON Jurors in Sen. Ted Stevens’ corruption trial passed a note with “a potential verdict” to a federal judge Monday, a courthouse spokesman said.
What good is that if the election is next week?
I remember him picking his nose and telling the House managers there would be no real Impeachment trial.
So long Ted.
“There goes election.”
Snort. There’s some logical analysis. I thought the whackjob “B” face girl in Pittsbourgh ended the election.
Ted Stevens will not impact anything going into 4 November.
We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in AmericaIf we have to start from scratch to get good guys in then so be it.
Who wants to be long overnight and wake up to another 14% drop in Asia?
Sen. Stevens is a slimey politician and needed to go a long time ago!
At this late date, I assume he remains on the ballot. Hopefully he wins, resigns, and is replaced by a pick from VP-Elect Palin!
Ted Stevens is not guilty.
The guy was found guilty on all counts. Come on...
If you look at the perfect set of dominoes that had to fall this year in order to give Obama the presidency and a complicit Congress, there’s only one conclusion:
Obama is the anti-Christ.
There’s essentially five critical news cycles left....you tell me what it will be filled with? Stevens, longest serving Republican Senator, guilty on all COUNTS.
Perfect timing.
An Alaska jury thought otherwise.
Nonsense.
Much as I like Sarah, that really would not be right at all. Even if a Democrat were to do it someday, you just can't appoint yourself to a Senate seat.
And it will be a Cuba without the nice weather and tropical flowers. Sheesh.
Amazing, how they dump this just before the GE. How despicable.
The replacement can only serve till election day.
Stevens won his primary and his dem opponent will most likely be elected.
Just damn.
He asked for the timing, so you can’t blame that on the Hate Media or Democrats. Arrogant and stupid on his part, unless there really has been a gross miscarriage of justice (I doubt it).
Amen!
Except the Alaska senate seat.
Palin should appoint herself.... maybe her husband.
I thought this trial was held in DC, not Alaska.
Another scumbag RINO bites the dust.
That actually HAPPENED some years ago in Minnesota. Not exactly. The Dem governor resigned, the Lt. Governor was sworn in and then appointed the Dem to the senate.
His term expires Jan, 09.
I had that thought already. LOL
Stevens will get crushed now that he is convicted.
I’ve been a supporter of the market and business all my life, from the first when my dad owned a grocery store. I’ve either been in business or run a business all my adult life. But this market mess made me sell everything and have some cash to sit on/live on in my retirement. If Obama wins, the DOW will drop to under 5,000. It won’t be until 2010, when an enraged public decimates the Dem congress, until it will stop. By then there will be over 100 million Americans destitute. The damage to the country may be irreversable. I am not joking when I say I am glad I live near plenty of fresh water, in the country, am trained and well armed, and have my cash to tide me through. I will, like many other people, simply fade out of the known economy and do what I have to do. I don’t know five people my age who work for a corporation and get regular W-2 pay. We are survivors.
And it’s probably too late to do a Frank Lautenberg on this one?
