What am I missing AuntyM. The senate is a 6 year term. A pardon may be coming, but the democratic run congress will toss him anyway, which they should do regardless. Todd, with the election on Tuesday, many ballots have been cast and its unlikely a new candidate could even be put on the ballot. Even more unlikely that a new ballot could be printed. SInce he insists on running my guess is he will lose or be tossed out. Win and get tossed out and more people will be pissed off at the republicans. Lose or withdraw and the democrats get what they want. The party has one choice if they want to keep that seat in the future.

Yeah, I think you're right about the timing of it...it's too late to get someone else in there, and the only hope the Repubs have of keeping the seat is getting him elected, and then he either wins his appeal (very unlikely), or gets tossed on his ear by his fellow Senators (very likely) and Alaska holds a special election and probably just installs another one just like him...mebbe Palin will run for the Senate seat?
Sheesh...as if Alaska isn't a laughing stock this fall already...
Fish on...

This guy could have been hit on so many things. He has been double dealing for years. He is a piece of shiat and wont even step down now. One more reason for term limits. Seems the amount of corrup increased expon with each term served. I hope he gets kicked out on his wrinkled old a$$ and finds someone in fed prison to massage the tender cheek he lands on.

The pardon issue may be moot as I don't believe that Stevens will be sentenced until after the new Prez is in office. It is not common to pardon someone until after they have been sentenced, but with the moral compass of the current Admin, I expect anything.

....and Wild Bill had a moral compass? Clinton pardoned 16 terrorists (FALN) or more correctly commuted their sentences, pardonned Dan Rostenkowski and Mel Reynolds, both of whom were (D) Congressmen convicted of crimes involved fraud and worse, among others. Give me an F'n break before you go spouting off on the misuse of pardons. Remember also that Hitlery's brother accepted over $500,000 from some of the folks who were granted pardons, and then gave some of it back once it became public knowledge. The whole lot of them are crooks, so before you get holier than thou, try swinging a dead cat in a small room packed with politicians. It won't be hard to hit someone dirty. Need a cat? Got one for you.

Typical right wing "straight from the talking points" blather...
1. When accused, deny it.
2. When busted, blame someone else.
3. When convicted, tell everyone how the other guy does it, too.
4. Whenever possible, try to get the word "Clinton" in at least twice per paragraph.
Fish on...
Todd

According to the U.S. Senate Web site, only four sitting senators have been convicted of crimes. Three of them resigned before they could be expelled; a fourth died first. How about Representatives in the House? By the way, I said they are all crooks. Dems and GOP'ers. I'm just trying to keep everybody honest. Then again, we are dealing with politicians, so that's a tall order.

What did you expect Marsha? Todd and KK posted here.  I truly hope Ted gets to serve some prison time. An example needs to be made of him, and others who use office for personal gain. Damned pigs at a trough.
