Alaska G.O.P. Still Backs Re-election for Stevens

I see their point. The timing of this is unfortunate. It's too late to replace him with another R who would almost certainly win. The people of Alaska want a R in that Senate seat. This is the only way for that to happen. I don't have a problem with it. It's fair.

Especially if everyone voting for him understands that they're really voting just to keep the seat Republican. It's no different than the people who always vote a straight ticket. Honestly though, I don't think it'll work anyway. Not everyone will buy in to voting for an unknown generic Republican, and the race was already close before this conviction happened.

I think it goes against everything for him to continue his campaign. I hope he loses and loses LARGE.

Wasn't there a Democrat in congress a couple years ago who died, and it was too late to change the ticket, so the wife or somebody took the seat instead? I'm having a mental block and can't think of the name. If I could remember the name, I'd be able to look it up to see what happened there. I remember there was some partisan bickering over that one.

Stevens could win, and then resign. Palin might nominate someone else to take the seat. Partisan politics are more important than the voters or nation. |

Well, technically the conviction might still be thrown out on appeal. A death, not so much.

Good point clod - I hadn't thought of that.

T'was The Night Before The Elections
'Twas the night before elections And all through the town Tempers were flaring Emotions all up and down! I, in my bathrobe With a cat in my lap Had cut off the TV Tired of political crap. When all of a sudden There arose such a noise I peered out of my window Saw Obama and his boys They had come for my wallet They wanted my pay To give to the others Who had not worked a day! He snatched up my money And quick as a wink Jumped back on his bandwagon As I gagged from the stink He then rallied his henchmen Who were pulling his cart I could tell they were out To tear my country apart! " On Fannie, on Freddie, On Biden and Ayers! On Acorn, On Pelosi" He screamed at the pairs! They took off for his cause And as he flew out of sight I heard him laugh at the nation Who wouldn't stand up and fight! So I leave you to think On this one final note- Don't be a slacker GET OUT AND VOTE!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I agree with the last line and thats about it - I know there is a McCain version out there. Please post it. Its only fair. |
