OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

Why are you guys reporting on the disgusting effegy of Sarah Palin haning with a rope around her neck. If this were someone from a different party there would be OUTRAGE! Come on!

GOP = Greed Over Principle

He says he's innocent. Sounds familiar, nobody from Alaska seems to be able to accept responsibility...only gifts.

The media and all these newspapers need to stop calling an obama will: we still have a week till the election day.

Doing this is setting Obama up for a big loss to Mcain/palin
Pls stop all this till it's over cos it aint over yet.

Go out and VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN

well what goes around ALWAYS comes around,,, guilty as charged,,,,,serve the jail term like the rest of the crimmanils,,,,

Ouch. Bad time to be from Alaska, teehee.

Seriously though, having lived there myself, I just wanna say, don't judge the state by this clown and his silly friend, Palin.

Especially not the Southeast end of the State....

They should let him slide, they are all corrupt anyway. With the little bad he did, I'm sure 40 yrs in the senate produced some good for the betterment of the people – Hopefully.

Are there ANY politicians from Alaska that aren't corrupt criminals? Any?

Never in the history of civilization has a government not turned tyrannical in good conscience. Freedom was the most short lived idea man has ever had. Maybe people will tell stories about it one day.

So does being from Alaska make you automatically think you are entitled to doing whatever you want?

Nov 4th cannot arrive fast enough.

How about a ticker on Obama's latest socialism tape from 2001 or is there no way to spin it

Buh-bye!!!!

Senator Stevens should retire..He just doesn't get it! Same thing
for McCain.. I see that Palin did distance herself from him almost
immediately. sinking ships lose all their rats.. GOP has major
problems in this election rotflmao

Could it be, the hell of the last eight years may be over?! halleluyah!

With Stevens' conviction one might want to say that the wheels continue to come off the McCain-Palin campaign.

Yet unless someone throws that annoying mini-spare out of the trunk, there just may not be any more tires to come off.

And as for Stevens claiming he is innocent – about 80% of folks in prison say the same thing. "Honest, judge, I was only the wheel man."

This is exactly why Obama will be our next president...the Republicans simply do not deserve another 4 years after 8 years of destroying our country and leaving it in shambles. Bush and his cronies were and are an absolute disgrace.

(BTW...that entire Palin family should be on Jerry Springer, what a bunch if white trash thay are!!!)

Betty

There seems to be something with Alaskan politicians that seems to breed corruption and ethical issues. Stevens still will fight this. I do not think he views that he did anything wrong.

Oh dear! Too bad so sad repubs. You had your eight years and now the democrats get a shot at things. I wonder what got you in this mess?

Maybe its, the United States views slowly changing on moral standpoint.

Or maybe its the extremely unpopular war not just at home but internationaly.

Or maybe its the idea of giving wealthy people breaks when they don't need them.

Or maybe its the idea of drill, drill, drill, when we should be the country leading the way to a bright green future.

Well who knows better luck next go around.

Obama-Biden 08

I know this man did wrong but at 84 I hope the judge goes easy on him and gives him probation....its noy like he killed anyone.

No one guilty of corruption charges should be allowed to run. We need to hold our politicians to higher standards. This includes politicians of all parties. Corruption is an offense that could result in a President being impeached, so certainly a senator guilty of it has no business running.

Republican's can't get enough of shooting themselves in the foot!!! Keep it up guys Obama will be up by 20 pts by Wednesday!!!

Go Obama!!

What is he convicted of? Write an entire story for goodness sakes, not just more build up from one party to another. If the crime was so bad, why was the race neck and neck during the trial?

What in the world? CNN, where is the news in the story? What was the actual conviction charge?

Time for Stevens to really find out what a "series of tubes are"..... In prison.

Palin thinks now he will do the right thing??? Does she think he gets off with a slap on the wrist?? Palin took money from the same oil company that now has to much control. Sorry Gov. Palin your stories dont add up you are probably next in front of the Judge!

I see John McCain trying to scare America into voting for him, because Obama's election, combined with a filibuster-proof 60% Congress, would be out of control of the Republican Party..

America, you have said America is going in the wrong direction. I agree, and suggest you give the Democratic Party the chance to really start us in a new direction, a direction of benefit to Middle America and all America because of the exciting new image of America in the world; as well as a new and vigorous economy in this country.

Good, we ran him off. Now we need to run off Pelosi, Frank, Dodd, and Obama.

Im from Anchorage and Im still voting for him.

LMAO.... I believe there's another Vacant Seat available now.

So is corruption, lies, and abuse of power part of Alaska culture???

Sarah Palin and her corrupt ways, unethical behavior and abuse of power are next. She must be held accountable. Shame on Mccain for selecting her. So much for country first! These two are pathetic!

The folks in Alaska seem to have a problem with their ethics.

How can Stevens even run for reelection while he is under investigation? He should've be barred from running again.

ha ha ha ha ha!

I was going to support OBAMA but after all these new revelations, I think he is worse than Stevens. I cannot vote for OBAMA now. Thank GOD I found out before election day!! MCCAIN/PALIN

the anchorage daily already endorsed obama. sorry palin.

Hey he was just "borrowing" those items just like his fellow Alaskan Republican, Sarah Palin.
He insists he wasn't keeping it all... even after 7 years with one of the items.
Another scumbag bites the dust.

Did someone just say Conrad Burns?

Let's vote America!!! Everyone!

So we can get a socialist agenda crammed down our throats or up our bazoos. That what you have in mind Ethan? Thanks but NO THANKS.

GOOOOOOOO DEMS!

I'M SO EXCITED. ALL THE WAY!

I'M VOTING FOR THAT ONE!

60's my favorite number now.

Now the media should ask Todd Palin about the "buddies" that helped him built his house.

Don't be afraid to vote for a Democrat. The Republicans had control for six years. Can the Democrats possibly do any worse? Highly doubtful in these tough economic times and it would not bode well for them come the next election. Besides, it runs counter to Obama's tax cuts policy in his economic platform.

drip, drip, drip, FLOOD!

If the Republican party does not get it together REAL Quick the Dems will have a FULL 100 seats in the Senate.

Has anyone researched the possibility that 2008 may be the year of the straight-ticket voter?

All my life, and I'm 52, I never voted straight ticket – until 2006. That was my first straight-Dem ballot and I cast that vote because I really believed it was time for the Republicans to not only take a break, but remember who they're supposed to be working for.

Voted straight Dem again this year. I wonder if that's happening much across the country, with the general dissatisfaction with GOP policy and the financial meltdown?

cnn has a problem with the truth

Wait until Palin is elected VP, she want's to parden him.

Wow. Sarah palled around with a convicted felon. Guess we won't be hearing about Ayers anymore!

And then the Republican fell from grace, just not gracefully! Ugliness always rears it's ugly head – oh wait, that John and Sarah! Yoooou Becha!

if i see one more bogus story on unimportant "ACORN" i swear i will never watch cnn again... your bias is shining through. why dont you go find a real story.

Just another greedy corrupt Republican going down

Couldn't happen to a more deserving sole. I detest corrupt, lying, bought and paid for types like Stevens. I hope the judge throws the book at this shining example of all that is bad about American politics.

Palin said it was a sad day for Alaska. Why is it a sad day when a crook is convicted of a crime he committed. Sounds like a pretty good day for Alaska to me!

This is another example of the liberal bias in juries. And of course the liberal media would report the story. Where's the balance? We need stories of liberal officeholders who may be convicted of crimes in the near future.

What is truely amazing is how long he got by with it. Also don't overlook who was the Executive Director of Stevens PAC. It was non other than Sarah Palin. America this is the sort of Executive experience Palin will bring to Washington.

Sarah's next.

What fools the news media like CNN are for not telling the truth about Obama and the Dems. They are leftists and shame on you CNN for selling this guy.

Yes you have done nothing but push Obama and shame on you. America will suffer greatly for Obama so shame on you CNN

It is suprising that the race is tied> I mean what do you have to do these days. We hold these folks to a different set of standards, yet when they abuse or neglect those standards, we cuddle them and say that's ok!

With all that is going on in the political enviroment these days, I hope people will be a bit more concious of the implications of such arrogance.
Unless of course, he spread the wealth around to all Alaskans?

CNN is older than everyone. Centuries. None Negociable....

Sadam Inc.... Why did the USA attack Syria??? You'r on the Spot... America. The rest of the World is waiting for your response...
Obama is a Change-Coat.

Typical Retread – getting his hand caught in the cookie jar!

Time to get rid of all RETREADS!

Go Obama!

Another dirty Alaskan Republican. Will wonders never cease?

People now we all know what they mean with "Country First".

1) It means: Building their countryside cabin and renovating it first
2) It means filling their own wallets first with bribes and our tax money

Good News is: ON NOVEMBER 4t WE WILL TAKE OUR CONTRY BACK -– YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!

When it rains ... it pours!

This doesn't say much for Alaskan voters, they are also the ones to elect Gov. Palin. Thick as thieves the GOP is.

OBAMA IS A FLIP FLOPPING DICK. HIS NAIVE SUPPORTERS ARE JUST HATERS. THEY CARE NOTHING FOR THEIR COUNTRY JUST THE BS. THAT THEIR CANIDATE TELLS THEM

60 seats here we come!!!

Isn't it interesting that nothing happens to the democrat Senator William Jefferson who had $90,000 hide in his freezer and still get to run for another term. Just goes to show you there is a double standard in politics.

JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE THAT THE REPUBLICAN RIGHT WING CORRUPTION IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL.

WE MUST STOP THE RIGHT WING NEO CON'S.

OBAMA 08

Goodbye to bad garbage.

"Steven's" is a typo. Should be " Stevens's " or " Stevens' " depending on which style guide CNN uses.

Ain't it a shame!!!! Sorry, no more special treatment for Uncle Ted. I hope this old Repugnant saves the cell for next door for his good buddy "First Dude" . His and Caribou Sarah's home was also improved on the cheap......

GOP Rotten to the core.

Spread the wealth?

Slaves can not own anything. Now we will all be slaves working for the government. I for one am looking foward to working for Obama, Reid and Panoski. NOT!

What fools you Obama voters are!

Bush, The Criminal, will give a Presidential Pardon for this criminal too. Mark my words....

I think it's funny how palin blames the oil companys for the corruption in AK, and then she says that she will open up anwr to the oil companys to drill for more oil. So that AK can get more money from them.

And America one inch closer to destruction.

I see Sarah Palin wasted no time throwing her protege under the bus.

Why are there no term limits for lod codgers like Stevens

Corruption, Palin used the same firm to renovate there house – and guess what she can't find the receipts either. Just another corrupt pol from Alaska.

Bye.

Now let's see how far the RNC rabbit hole really goes.

Drill baby drill.

Peace.

I wanted to comment on Sarah Palin and for her to even mention Stevens is quit ironic considering she has made her own mistakes to include abuse of power – I'm from Alaska and as an Alaskan I will not vote for anyone that has demonstrated a lack of character and has placed themselves above the law and the ethics oath that each one of them has raised their hand to and then chose to do what ever they wanted instead of doing the very best they could while serving the PEOPLE.....

No to Palin, not in '08, not in '12 or any time!

No to Stevens, he has served his time, NOW is the time for a New Presence in Washington to represent Alaska!

ONE more repube down the tube! Lets hear Palin talk her way out of this mess. 60! YES 60! Its now my favorite number..
OBAMA! we want you, we need you.

Get rid of the bums...next Palin, Bush and Cheney...

I'm almost starting to feel sorry for the Republicans. Almost, but not quite. McCain's selection of Palin as a running mate all the while touting "change", and their right-wing base screaming "socialist" and calling for even more draconian policies, proves neither the party nor the base has learned anything. Maybe they never will.

Says a lot about the republican party and Alaska when they'll consider reelecting a corrupt old codger like Stevens.

And immediately Palin comes out saying she was elected to fight this corruption. Duh...after she was found to have violated AK state ethics law too! This lady is not just a hypocrite but also surreal. Yet look at all those folks out there cheering her on. As Peggy Noonan said, she is a cancer to her party. Yeh, well then what is she to the US?

Another name to add to the list of the Republican 'Culture of Corruption' that will be leaving office with the Bush Administration.

Our nation will be much better without those thugs... time to make our nation great again and remove every shred of the 'Culture of Curruption' Republicans have left behind. I'll miss Tom DeLay the most.... NOT!!!!

WAKE UP, AMERICA!! VOTE SMART... NOT SENILE!!!

why can a convicted felon run for the senate; but cannot vote?

Can hardly wait for the legal system to get on to what Palin did to mess up the Alaskan Pipeline Project that won't happen for ten or more years.Seems like Walt Monegan is the honest one in the troopergate which was conviently re named by McCain team to taser gate.It amazes me with all the corruption and abuse of power by Todd and Sarah they have et to be charged.Just wait for the truth about the negotiations and who finally was awarded the contract in the pipeline project.It will be tied up in courts for years due to Palins abuse of power

I am not so sure having the Dems in full control is a good idea.

Good now that the Dems have 60 seats now you can keep $60.00 a year after they rape you with taxes.

Am certain that Dems will capture the magic number of seat .

Go Obama/Biden Go–

What tis time has come cannot be stopped.

Another democratic seat! God is Good! Life is good! OB08Plus!

We will win PRESIDENT/CONGRESS & SENATE.

It's time for change! Give the Repubs the heave-ho.

Didn't Sarah Palin get some free stuff done at her house as well. Wonder what we will hear about this in the coming months.

So we'll have at least 2 years to get the country headed in the right direction again...

One seat at a time!!

I watched Barrack's speech today – this afternoon actually, and still have goosebumps!

I'm old enough to have watched many elections

I was angered by the infamous "girl, daisy & bomb" fear mongering ad of Lynden Johnson

I cried over the deaths of American greats

I lived and worried in California durijng the Cuban Crisis..

and now.... today... I heard -
A WONDEROUS "KENNEDY" MOMENT!

Go Obama/Biden

"Just one more seat?" The postmortems will start to pour in with continued regularity this week as Republicans begin to look to 2010 and 2012. This story ads to that theme and may prove pivotal to Democrats reaching 60.

IF Stevens were a Democrat he wouldn't have any problems at all being reelected,but because he's a Republican,he DOES have a problem,you see Republicans DO have morals and ethics,and don't just ignore bad judgment.I wish everybody was a Republican,the world would be a better place.

You know, sometimes, I don't think anyone knows whats going to happen! Lots of noise and chest beating – What its going to take is intelligence, fortitude, sacrifice, honesty (good luck on this one), What are people really saying and is anybody really listening??

One down. 9 to go.

Born and raised in Alaska, I voted for Stevens once, then never again. He always had a bad temper, but he wasn't corrupt once upon a time ago. This is the lamentable result of the baleful influence of big oil in Alaska and the GOP alliance with a corporate culture of special interests throughout the nation.

Another one bites the dust... and another one ... and another one... Washington needs as much house cleaning as Wall Street does.

its not about seats ,but whats good for america and the people.WHY ARE WE SO BLIND?YOUR MAMMA OR YOUR BEST FRIENDS MAMMA IS THROWN OUT OF HER HOUSE SHE OWNED FOR 30YRS AND YOU ARE EVEN PROUD TO COUNT YOUR SEATS?WHERE IS YOUR SENSE OF REASONING?
PRIDE DOESNT FEED THE FAMILY,REALITY.

Hey CNN writers.... possessive here would Stevens', not Steven's. C'mon now.

First Ted and now Sarah. The same company that Ted is linked too is also accussed of giving the good Governor free work also. Bye Sarah.
Obama 08

Sad day for her, maybe. Maybe she'll get caught up in this wave of prosecuting corruption. That would be great!

Sarah, you should be very ashamed of yourself. It is because of you and your divisive and hateful rallies that two young men believed they could and should kill Sen. Obama. Have you no morals? By fostering that type of behaviour, you are not a Christian, or at least not the kind I want to sit next to in church, and you are the root of the problem. You have never once admonished your supporters to behave with civility.

If you don't believe me, you can check out your "real American" supporters on youtube. Disgusting stuff.

Please america send the Todd and Sarah back to there igloo.

I'm ready for another round of an FDR like atmosphere. 60, here we come !!!!!!

Obama/Biden 2008-2012
Election night will be over round 10PM EST

Election day isn't coming fast enough!

******OBAMA-BIDEN 08******
FOR THE CHANGE WE NEED

Okay Democrats, let's see what you can do in the next 4 years. I can guarantee that if there is no corruption in the Democratic Party, if Obama's policies work, if you can Impeach Barney Frank who helped create the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac meltdown, if the Democrats are successful there will be no viable Republican party. I'm a Republican that's voting a solid Democratic ticket for the first time in my life. Prove to me that you're right. Please.

We are watching and we will be voting soon.......

I can not wait to vote.

VOTE VOTE VOTE !!!

Sarah Palin "palled around" with this guy. She ran his PAC and was appointed the oil commission by him. So, did any of his corrupt-ness rub off on her? You betcha!

Nuff said Ethan, 60 here we come, and the White House!

12% say things going well? Ouch. Something's gotta give. And soon. And we all know what it is.

Good to see one more scumbag hit the floor.

Roll on the revolution.

and what needs to happen now???

He needs to be completely stripped of ALL his federal retirement benefits. He deserves not a single penny more of taxpayer money.

Congress declared that when federal employees (military and civilian) are convicted of a felony, they forfeit their retirement pension.

It should work the same way for members of Congress. But does it?

Can you find out if they created one set of standards for other federal employees and more liberal ones for themselves?

'Just one more seat.'

It starts with one seat. That one seat will multiply...from a seat, to a lazy boy, to a love seat, to a couch, to a sectional, etc.

Obama/Biden 08'

~Lawrence in Denver

I have seriously lost respect for McCain, totally, period!!!!!!!!!!! Now they want to kill Obama. Is this America we want? let people decide, don't plant a seed of hatred and race. Don't devide us, lose honorably.

No one NEEDS to be a Senator for 40 years – that is, in itself, a problem.

It makes it too easy for corrupt men to become corrupt politicians, milking the system for all it is worth. They don't call it the Corrupt Old B*st*rds club for nothing...

And, shouldn't Palin be next? She did pretty much the same thing as mayor of Wasilla - getting her PERSONAL home built by the same company she "awarded" that Wasilla Sports Center contract to...

I'm just saying...

Why don't we have term limits? No congress person should be allowed to serve more than 8 or 10 years max. After that time, they become too ingrained in the system to make a difference.

Get the fact's. Read the real story, say's CNN... What is the real story CNN? Barack Obama is a Socialist, Fact!... Europe can survive without the USA... Canada is 60% British- 30% French. Europe deal in euro's... Except fot Dizzi-Liz, who still play's Queen. with her Pound... But that can change in a Moment! Well CNN? What is the "REAL" Story.. You do not Qualify as a Dictator...

NIce!!!!!!!!

Sarah Palin "pals" around with convicted felons!!!!

That will be a really good thing.

the beginning of a democratic america would be a nail in the coffin

for the superpower of america, nothing to be happy for

I pumped my fist in the air when I read about the conviction! Great news that another corrupt kingpin is brought down!

What a travesty! Another person entrusted with the public's money and he couldn't keep his fingers out of the cookie jar. Another powerful, wealthy person falling to Greed. What are these people thinking when they do such contemptable things?

This could create an opening for Sarah – problem is she can't run for both positions at once – VP and Senator.

I can't wait to read the next article where Palin reacts to this verdict.

GOOD.

This will not affect the Replublicans. It's only his fault.

I am beginning to see a wave of justice that is so prevalent I may have to even say it could possibly go to far in cleansing our democracy. But, in this case, we've waited along time to send a message to others that are corrupt.

Good for you Alaska! I honestly did not see this coming but you've done well.

Some three dozen workers at a telemarketing call center in Indiana walked off the job rather than read an incendiary McCain campaign script attacking Barack Obama, according to two workers at the center and one of their parents.

Williams' daughter told her that up to 40 of her co-workers had refused to read the script, and had left the call center after supervisors told them that they would have to either read the call or leave, Williams says.

"They walked out," Williams says of her daughter and her co-workers, adding that they weren't fired but willingly sacrificed pay rather than read the lines. "They were told [by supervisors], `If you all leave, you're not gonna get paid for the rest of the day."

End the drama vote Obama. You republicans should take the next 4 years off, rebuild your party, come up with viable plans for governing and let the democrats handle things.

One down two more to go? Remember the only poll that matters is Nov 4th make it a short night for the Fox crowd. I hope Sean Hannity cries like the B that he is.

"I'm not a CROOK"!
LANDSLIDE IS ALL I CAN SAY!
GO DEMS!

Purging of the republican party willl be complete on 4th Nov.

Looks like – going , going , gone!!!!

Typical Alaska politician......they are from a different world it seems..Good news for Dems...inless Alaskans are 100% nuts, Stevens will lose...although..they DID elect Palin..so who knows??

THE LAW IS THE LAW IS THE LAW.
JUST BECAUSE ONE THINKS THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW DOESN'T
HOLD TRUE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THOSE WHO ARE FOUND TO BE GUILTY SHOULD PAY THE SAME PRICE EVEN IF THEY ARE A POLITICIAN.

Love to see another repug taken down but I dread the day democrats get full control of majority. Just look at what they've done with near that in the last two years.

Bye Bye Republicans!

I would love to hear what gov.palin has to say about her buddy. Good old fashion alaskan ethics at its best! Palin is a joke and stevens is a joke. I cant wait til america sends this dummy back to alaska and i bet she wont be the gov. of alaska much longer.

Well one Alaskan Republican down now its Palin's turn. After all it seems that the Republican Party has a trust issue in Alaska. Wow Palin and TrooperGate ans now the Pipe line bidding issues it won't be too much longer before she falls too.

Great Choice MCBUSH

Time to tell the crooks no more.... we will not take them not doing right by the American people!

Palin and McCain are stiring hate and racism and cause some conservative lunatics to plot killing Obama. You see what you are seeding Palin? Hate, lose honorably stop being dumb and induce fear and hatred. America, you decide, fear, division, race and hate or hope and prosperity. I respect Obama, too smart fella for Mcain and Palin!!!!!!!!!!

I hear that Stevens has plenty of grounds to appeal the trial but I do hope this knocks him out of the race. Good riddance as far as I am concerned. I would be curious what would happen if Alaskans reelect him. That state is so corrupt, it would not surprise me.

I wish they would do a map to show how the race for the senate is looking.

you betcha!

HEY OBAMA SUPPORTERS,

I REALIZE NOTHING ANYONE SAYS IS GOING TO CHANGE YOUR MINDS ABOUT OBAMA BUT DOES IT BOTHER YOU AT ALL THAT THIS MAN HAS SO MANY SKELETONS IN HIS CLOSET.

HOW CAN YOU TRUST OBAMA.

I GUEST THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS THINK ALL THIS INFORMATION IS FALSE.

WOW TALK ABOUT FANTASY LAND!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just what people who think the Republicans have some kind of moral high ground need to think about.

When it rains, it pours!

This is disgraceful. This is where our politics is at? Thats why I'm voting Obama this time, these Republicans have been so corrupted by big companies. I'm sick of it....

Oh happy day !!!! Catch every one of the crooks – Republicans and Democrats. Throw the book at them and let their names be known.

Same treatment for ALL lawbreakers.

Obama/Biden '08

I have a of comments first I think that maybe why Palin won't release her medical records is because they will show that her young son is really her grandson .

Nice!
Jerks like this diminish us all.

bush, keaton, rove, iraq,economy,mcshame,power. what can i say.

Now we can ask about Palin's "Road to Nowhere."

Well. Not nowhere, exactly. She had a road built to Stevens's house.

At TAXPAYER EXPENSE.

What about that, my friend?

Ethan (6:17)

Go put on your sandals and go hug a tree!

Politicians without accountability – steal OUR liberties.

AGAIN the call goes out: "Give me liberty – or give me death"

I just think God for getting rid of such an evil.

wooohooo! we need a mandate to enact barack's changes! vote democrat up and down the ticket!

It's funny how Republicans are warning people of the dangers of a senate which cannot be filibustered... they say it's like driving a car with no breaks.

Well, first I think it's funny that they refer to themselves as "the breaks"... which is very fitting.

Second.. they're basically saying that they want to keep a senate that will not be able to actually achieve anything. They actually want a senate with nothing but gridlock.. so later they can blame a senate with a democratic majority (of 1 vote) for not getting things done.

The Republican way is really paying off for them! This is just another reason we need to change Washington. We need term limits in congress because power corrupts! Vote wisely!

It's not "Steven's", it's "Stevens'"

Ok, I've had my fun with this Stevens headline. But in all honesty, we can't really blame Mr. Stevens. It's a matter of peer pressure. We have to lay the blame at the feet of his fellow republicans who set the standard and expectations so low, on a daily basis. We have to blame ourselves for voting for any republican, and allowing them to feel its ok to be immoral, corrupt, selfish and incompetent.

We have to be the judge in this one, we must deliver the sentence for this one. We need not deliver the sentence on a man that is over 80 years old, we must sentence the entire GOP instead. We must not vote for a single one of them, not until they clean their act up and start working FOR us rather then AGAINST us!

Vote Dem's across the board, let that be the punishment. Let them read their sentence in a sweeping rush of democratic victories across the nation. It's time for change. As Obama say's, from the bottom up...and in this case, that means EVERY republican out there..from the BOTTOM UP, must be sentenced to defeat by US...the voters!

Getting just what he deserves. If there is a good example of power in Washington corrupting you when you've there too long, Senator Stevens was the poster child. He didn't think he needed to play by the rules of us regular folks. Special set of rules for special people. And that "Bridge to Nowhere" that Sarah Palin was hammered about since she became McCain's running mate, that's Stevens' little pet project. Didn't even want to let it go and free up the money to help with the after-effects of Katrina. He just got angry like a spoiled little kid... yeah, this is one of the elder statesman of the party touting "Country First"...

There is a good chance he'll still win his seat. After all, Alaskans elected Palin Governor. Why would a felony conviction keep them from electing Stevens?

SarahPalin'
ssignature accomplishment a contract to build a 1,715-mile pipeline to bring natural gas from Alaska to the Lower 48 — emerged from a flawed bidding process that narrowed the field to a company with ties to her administration, an AP investigation shows.Corruption?

Good get him out of there!!!!!!!

NO big deal. The media has annointed the Democrats to rule the US. There is no need for an election. I expect there to be no Republicans in the Senate or House after this election (even though they aren't all up for reelection). After all, the media rules the world!

Another long serving corrupt republican goes down; Palin off message; her aides saying they don't like how the McCain campaign is handling her, so she is off on her own (what if she got elected???), McCain running a disasterous campaign; what a sorry state the Repubs are in.

10 years sober

Next up .....Palin , Bush , Cheney , Rove.

Someone has to investigate the real financier of McCain's Wine Cellar; it could be another big oil company....one wonders why McCain prefer to fight for them (Big Oil Companies) to ordinary hard working Americans in Ohio and North Carolina

If your Guilty Mr... Tell the truth! I know just OJ Simpson... You were chosen for the fall... Be a man, and build a better world...

More Republican Alaska Old Boy Corruption.
But wait a moment, who did Palin support?
Oh yeah, Senator Stevens.
But, didn't she take on the old boy network, at least, that's what she said.

Palin is a product, being hawked to the red state right wingers and they are buying the myth.

Next thing they'll tell you that Jesus spoke to Palin directly and told her to run for President in 2012.

He is just the victim of political fighting, same as Hillary, a victim of race card.

and there i was thinking that republicans were safe up in Alaska

Time to put the Gop where it truly belongs: In the garbage

Go Dems!

Now if only we could do something about Larry Craig..

There does seem to be an infestation of crooked reptiles in the Reptiilian party speaking with forked tongues, or is that talking in tongues?

Just like Larry Craig who we now know must have been “tapping” out Broadway show tunes in that bathroom stall to garner the attention of the cute young cop in the next stall!

"Just one more seat."

And then another, and another. 60 here we come!
