Sarah is wrong, period. The election is over. End of story. The Super Bowl cannot be replayed because the referee blew a pass interference call on the last offensive drive of the game.
Even Rush Limbaugh is only right 99% of the time. Sarah is not perfect.
Having said that I still support Sarah 100% but because I do, it doesn’t mean that I put my brain on the backburner.
I figure Mark Begich realizes if he rides the middle & fights gun control; most Alaskans will support him the rest of his life, so get ready for 40 more years of Mark Begich in the Senate; since you all sold out on Teddy Boy.
Tell ya what though: If Mark Begich did step down, ask for new election; all Alaska would see him as super high class and repubs & dems alike would send Begich back to Washington for the rest of his life. Heck, I myself would rather vote for high class dem than another average repub, and everybody in my family is registered Republican.
Have you ever stopped to think how many Rat senators just barely got in, or got in due to things like this? Can anybody think of a squeaker Senate election the last decade where the Republican prevailed, or got the office because somebody released kinky divorce records of his opponent?
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
Markie startd campaining only after the FedGov went intothe field against Ted.
It also helped that the Dems pumped 5.5 MIllion in attack ads aginst TEd.
And the margin of loss was small.
The ‘pork’ Ted brought to Alaska was about 3.5 B over 40 years.
Nothing when compared to giants like Teddy K or John Murfha.
I am glad it’s over, but Ted will always have this stain on his good name, thanks to some corrupt lawyers in DC.
Who said they did?
Your kidding with your post right? Stevens would have won in a romp! What happened to him is akin to be publicly accused of being a child molester only to have your accuser say “nevermind” after your reputation and life are ruined.
With your comment about Palin and Alaska you can TAKE A HIKE! I have observed that folks with an attitude like yours are often found on losing teams. We’ll do fine without you.
Exactly. If the Republicans don’t raise a stink and rub it in, who will? That’s all I’m saying.
And it could weaken Begich for the next time around.
Eska, I voted for Stevens. I called it right, when all of this came out I saw it as the democrats and the Anchorage Daily Worker (news)working in conjunction to get Stevens out of there by hook or by crook, and get their man in there, timed to coincide with the election.
Democrats have done far worse, and never gotten so much as a hand slap. I never did believe he did anything wrong, it was a set up by a bunch of demogogues.
You must not be an Alaskan. If you live here you’d know this was nothing but a hit job. You do realize that Begich is going to vote with the Kenyan and the Communists every chance he gets? Who’s side are you on anyway?
I can’t say that I blame the Republicans for firing this particular shot, because they have absolutely nothing to lose by doing it. However, there isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that Freshman Democrat Alaska Senator Begich is going to resign, especially over this.
Ted Stevens got a royal screwing, there is no doubt, but until the next election there simply is no remedy available to Alaska voters.
Well dr. it’s just a few FRiends enjoying the irony is all. No one expects anything to happen. The Rats as we all know are about their power, not principle.
Stealing elections any which way is just part of the playbook.
If Begich is a communist, you have more important things to worry about than Ted Steven’s career.
BTW I agree with you and my initial post was describing her politics in general.
BTTT
As long as we're being honest, let's also face the fact that Stevens was actually guilty even though the charges have been dropped.
Alaska appears to be in the running for most corrupt state, but it will never be able to catch up to Illinois, New York, New Jersey, etc. in that category.
Now this is the way to play politics. I don’t want Stevens back though I never thought he did anything to justify the political witchhunt he was subjected to by Democrats but this is “only fair”. :-) It is so tasty when I get to use that in reference to Liberal Democrats.
