after an intense political race for the alaska senate seat, ted stevens, the worst of the republican senators, has been ousted! with only a 3,500 vote lead and 2000 left to be counted, mark begich has proven that even die hard alaskan conservatives don't like convicted felons. poor old teddy got bitch-slapped by his own voting base.

 

this is great news for democrats because that is one less republican in office and it puts them one step closer to the legendary 60 seat filibuster proof senate. all we have left is the georgia race on dec. 2 and the minnisota recount. cross your fingers everybody!
