    In AK, Stevens leads by 3500 votes with more than 60,000 absentee ballots to be counted. My guess is that he'll pull that one out.

    In OR, Smith leads by a little over 2000 votes with 74% of precincts in, but it looks like the outstanding precincts are mostly in Merkley areas.

    Congrats, Alaska - you're so backwards that you're about to elect a convicted felon who can't even vote for himself to be your US Senator.

    Alcee Hastings

    Impeached by the Senate for taking bribes, Hastings runs for the House and the Democrats give him a Chairmanship and also put him on the Rules Committee.

    Not even to mention the former KKK senator the D's brag about.

    When all else fails, play the Byrd card - nice. Neither of those old farts were felons, BT. Stevens can't even vote for himself, and Alaska is prepared to send him back to D.C.

    Putting a state in West Virginia's company is not a convincing way of disputing that the state is backwards
