Why? Senator Stevens did a great job for the state of Alaska while he was on the straight and narrow. Just because he became a corrupt politician doesn't mean we take away all the good he did for the state before he became corrupted. I'm proud to say I did vote for an uncorrupted Stevens, just like I'm proud to say I'll be voting for Begich come Tuesday.

Stevens should have the decency to drop out like Duke Cunningham did last year. I doubt that'll happen though.

We should amendmend the Constitution to read that any member of Congress convicted of any crime above a misdemeanor while in office should be PERMANENTLY barred from holding any federal-level office or position.

As AlaskaGuy suggests, I think Nate and several of the commenters here are underestimating Stevens' massive fanbase in Alaska and the powerful and not particularly rational loyalty he has accrued over the last forty years. While I think the conviction has tipped the election in Begich's favor I would be wary of writing off Stevens, period. The Mudflats says everything I want to say better than I could:

She was just auditioning for Fox Noise: "Hey, Fox, hire me. Like most of your on-air news readers, I'm a blonde bimbo, and I can really recite those Republican talking points."

I love Biden's: "Is this a joke?" That line should be used every time one of those airheads shows his/her ignorance with a stupid "gotcha" question.

Yes, sorry, it is a bit off-topic. In fact, I lived in a Third World, highly bureaucratized country for several years, and I know what you're talking about (e.g., having to spend a few DAYS to gain permission to make some photocopies). But the ultimate answer is to make these bureaucracies more efficient and citizen-friendly, not to work on this micro-level that bandages over problems. Stevens is an American Senator, for God's sake; he should be helping to solve these sorts of problems, not handing out favors like a feudal lord.

Marc Ambinder:

RNC Goes Up In Montana

The state and its three electoral votes are now competitive?

A Democratic media buying source says -- Republicans won't yet confirm -- and Republicans now confirm -- that the RNC's independent expenditure arm has bought television ads in the state.

The ads begin Wednesday.

In 2004, George W. Bush won Montana by 20 points.

Ron Paul is on the ballot. And Ron Paul supporters aren't happy with John McCain...

A Republican congressman from Texas could throw the state to Barack Obama.

Apropos of nothing, but I just got a call about voting early in Fairfax. For anyone that wants to know, the Fairfax County Gov't Center is one of the locations, and the call said something about 6 other satellite locations in the county. They also have Saturday hours.

I agree with you to a certain extent, but there are often two sides to issues. Have you every tried to fight a government bureaucracy, even when your motives were noble and logic unassailable? I have, in other circumstances, and it was resolved with political intervention (in my favor). Sometimes, an advocate cuts through much red tape.

Anyway, it's an off-topic debate. The main point is that I'd bet that the cab driver will still vote for Ted, just as long as he's on the ballot. Ted has helped many, many people over almost 40 years in the Senate (plus made a few enemies!)

justin32099,
"anyone know what's up with Virginia early voting?"

I'm a VA resident, and while I haven't spent an excessive amount of time looking, I am pretty adept with a computer and I have no idea where to go if I want to vote early. I've looked. The board of elections website offers no help.

Then again, my polling place (which is an elem. school) is like a tenth of a mile from my house, and I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I'm not particularly motivated to vote early.

" Emily Carson said...
Here's a pitch for the fences:

Stevens drops out. Palin leaves the McCain ticket in order to replace Stevens on the Alaska ballot. McCain announces if he is elected then Tom Ridge will be his veep. Conservatives go along with it to avoid Obama socialism. McCain/Ridge carries Pennsylvania which wins him the election while Palin keeps the seat in Alaska for the GOP and goes to Washington anyway.

Any reason this couldn't happen?"

Just about every single sentence is impossible for one reason or another. Stevens can't drop out, the Repubs are stuck with him on the ballot. Even if he could drop out, Palin wouldn't want to run for a smaller office, and lose anyway. McCain could urge Republican electors to vote for Ridge for VP, but in some states they would be oath-bound to vote for Palin, since (as with Stevens) that's the name on the ballot and can't be changed now. Conservatives would never go for Ridge, because he's a "baby-killer" and they have no rationality on that topic. It probably wouldn't carry Pennsylvania anyway. And Pennsylvania isn't enough for McCain anymore if VA, CO, NV, etc. are gone.

2008-10-27T19:23:00.002-04:00

"Early voting" in VA is the equivalent of absentee ballot in person (I know how absurd that sounds). Basically, you need to have a reason why you need to vote early. The only one a majority of people can probably claim is that their work hours + commute >= 11 hours. For that reason, a vast majority of Virginians, myself included, will not be voting until November 4th.

If the polling continues until 9:00 PM instead of 7:00 PM, it will be a looong night (not that I don't want everyone to have a chance to vote).

2008-10-27T19:23:00.001-04:00

Montana is officially a battleground state now, the RNC is running ads against Obama there. What do their internals show? Why waste money on the three EVs anyway?
