Does anyone really think that old Uncle Ted won't win again at this point?
He ain't exactly going to get a bounce if he gets convicted.
Ya, that really is the election, isn't it?
I have this fantasy of a Stevens ad: Some may think I am a crook who built the home I love on the cheap, some may think I am an earmark whore, but one thing nobody thinks, is that I will be the 60th vote to pass Obama's schemes to screw our state - on oil, on controlling our own resources, on guns, on anything that you care about. Think about it. Don't give THE ONE a filibuster proof Senate majority. It is up to us. The lower 48 are ready to screw us. I'm the wall.
In a word, it might be the prospect of the Dem wave itself, which saves Stevens from himself.
