| Stevens loses re-election bid | |
| 2008-11-19 | |
| ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens has lost his bid for a seventh term. The longest-serving Republican in the history of the Senate trailed Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich by 3,724 votes after Tuesday's count. That's an insurmountable lead with only about 2,500 overseas ballots left to be counted. Stevens, who turned 85 Tuesday, also revealed that he will not ask President George W. Bush to give him a pardon for his seven felony convictions.

| #7 You think that Stevens has issues? The apparent winner Mark Begich does, too. He is our mayor. Our taxes have gone up dramatically under his watch. Procurement has been circumvented. It has become a world of sleaze. We are having a meeting Friday night with an assemblyman on the situation and what we can do about it. The maggots have infested congress and we are powerless to act. No disrespect to hard working maggots in nature. |

| #5 Until the GOPstarts supporting candidates that put the USA first they will die with these old, crooked jagoffs. |

| #1 Good = got rid of a turd. Bad = another seat closer to veto-proof margin for the Dems (and that's not counting squishes like McCain) Thanks Ted you selfish asshole. I hope they give you real PMITA Prison time. |
