CNN

Dear intelligent people, please ignore 3strikes. He gets his enjoyment off of your responses. Just let him talk to and try to convince himself of his BS.

God bless...

There is only one thing wrong with these blogs anyone with a computer and a net hook up and minor typing skills can make a statement. Whether or not the statement is cogent, is another matter.

3strikes your hate and anger is what republicans thrive on. I for one am glad to see people of your ilk leave the US government.

I disagree with all of you wishing Palin would go away. Bring her back as the GOP candidate for president in 2012. Let her get SPANKED again and ensure an easy easy win for Obama.

CNN, I have to agree with several writers...Why are you covering a candidate that lost? I don't think the majority of Americans care anything about the joke from Alaska, and can't understand why you and every other news agency keep her in the loop. Please let her slide back in to the peaceful darkness of the night.

FiveThirtyEight.com, which is known for its accurate predictions, says there is good reason for Begich to be hopeful when they count the remaining ballots-apparently they are coming from areas where he does well. I'm crossing my fingers! Come on, Mark Begich!!!!

obama democrats need to learn how to take heat when fire is thrown back at them

3strikes....The first amendment gives you the right to spew any kind of inane rhetoric you want. I just don't see the point. How about using some facts to back up any part of your rant, instead of just quoting overpaid blowhards like Rush, Hannity, and Ann Coulter?

"Senate could decide his actions were not appropriate for a Senator"-they were not appropriate, even he knew it. That is why there is an audiotape of him saying he may have to go to jail if this was discovered. Should that not be enough? Then again, considering who is in the Senate, may not be enough.

Stevens should go home and pack for prison.

How will this silliness help a failing democracy?

This economy has been since President-elect Obama got the mantel?

How, were, and when He communicate his change?

I will give him a brake, however since his winning the stock market continues to fall showing lack of belief and experience if I'm not mistaking the signs?

If State of Alaska continued its count of at least 90,000 outstanding votes, absentee, lost, stolen, or some other discoverd balots.

If we have to see Sarah Palin on the news every day just to sell air time,could we at least move on to the swimsuit part of the competition.

it all came down to the quality of the candidates. the tainted gop had enough baggage to pull down the good ones. the change was long coming people had enough of hypocrisy.

Stevens is corrupt to the bone and the nation has had enough of the hulk, as he likes to think of himself. He is a cartoon character alright and we need a real person in the senate.

I am sure 3 strikes praises Palin! Just like him, she has declared war against intelligence! Maybe there is an igloo in Alaska for you 3strikes?

3strikes/3rdstrike. so much hate is bad for the soul. I say a pray for you.

3strikes/3rdstrike
There is a bridge to nowhere in alaska.. maybe you can just go there and ... dive.. along with your mentor, Rush Drug-addict-Limbush!

3strikes could be the poster child for why abortion should remain legal.

Huffingtonpost.com has Stevens down by THREE VOTES! Phew! It's gettin' hot over there in Alaska, you betcha! lol

Can't until Sarah Palin's 15 minutes of fame are up.

If she is all the republicans have to offer, 2012 will be a pipe dream.

Convicted felons and air heads.

3strikes/3rdstrike- FIRST, the democrats REPRESENT LESS THAN 1/5 OF OBAMA'S BASE, 20% of Repubs voted for him..second, (I support him) no one worships him; Obama has said he is NOT a perfect man, he will not be a perfect president..I don't expect him to be perfect..third, as moderate voters (AKA OBAMA'S BASE) we recognize his mistakes and applaud his sucesses and good decisions and good judgement

President Barack H. Obama's (I salute you, sir!) cabinet will be full of REPUBLICANS, INDEPENDENTS, WOMEN, MEN, MINORITIES, JEWS..it will be the MOST diverse cabinet

In other words..SUCK IT!

3STRIKES. YOUR HATRED IS NOT NEEDED IN THIS NATION. IF YOU DONT LIKE OUR DEMOCRACY, THEN PLEASE LEAVE.

Re: 3strikes

Its kind of funny to hear a RepublicOn talk about DEMS self destructing. I take it you didnt watch much of the Mccain/Palin ticket
flounder around for 2 months? You lost ,get over it ,move on.

3Strikes – you need to calm down. Comparing the majority of US citizens who supported Obama as follows of a Hitler style ideological fascination is way out of line. Everyone can have their right to their opinion of how the country should be run but all your doing right now is perpetuating the stereotype that the McCain/Palin supporters are more filled with fear/hate then they are of confidence and hope that the country can do better. I can see how to many, it may seem strange that so many Americans are seemingly in love with our new president but don't you think that it may only seem strange because it has been ages since our country has had a president that inspires people?

Bottom line, regardless of Obama's policies, he has inspired millions of people and rejuvinated peoples excitement in their country. And seriously, how can you say that Democrats don't know how to do anything but self destruct when the past 8 years have yielded such little promise? If I recall, Bush began his term with a republican majority in 2000 (with a tie in the senate) and look how that turned out......

The State of Alaska: where the Governor is a bimbo, the republican senator is a crook, and the electorate supports both.
Glad I've never been there!

As a one time Alaskan & someone who feels that he has a bit of integrity, it pains me to see that the polls, before the election showed Begich with a noticeable margin & now their down to being separated by a mere three votes.

Is the Alaskan political thievery machine STILL in operation?

Did ACORN help Obama to win? Why are they not talking about ACORN again?? Obama won in a landslide and everybody kept quiet. Go Obama 08, 12

Hey 3 strikes go back to listening to Limbaugh. No one wants to listen to you spewing hate and pouting about the spanking the Rupugnantcans took! Your corrupt and Bush rubber stamping Party lost. Welcome back to the minority where you belong! Maybe in 30 or 40 years you may have another chance! You really hate it knowing your party really screwed up this country the last 8 years don't you? Enjoy the permanent minority!

i bet stevens done more than any other repub or democrap in congress, he outlasted most of 'em. he's done more than any of the average american, ceo of a company/corporation, can do. plus helping out his state, just like any other senator would do. all you idiots have to do, is hear about politicians and corruption, and you start blasting words with that big hole in your face. nobama democrats(e.g., turncoat repubs, independents, die hard democraps), are brainless, clueless, dont even get the whole story straight. you guys blast repubs, but when fire is thrown back, you guys cry foul, and start to whine and complain like theres no tomorrow. sorry @$$ nobama democraps

Have you listen to her during interviews, this woman is DUMB. The world's worst combination is arrogance and stupitidy, and she takes the cake. She is right and the rest of world is wrong.

Also, palin is not attractive, take a good look at her. She looks just like her father with a big flat round face. Only difference is that she is a younger model.

CNN, I am not compaining about the coverage, I thank you for reminding america of what could have been.
She claims that she believes in god, if so may god have mercy on us and keep her and her juiced up husband out of politics.

palin voted for old ted, she is palling around with a felon. What a phony palin is.

Begich, yes, please! I am so sick and tired of looking and listening to that airhead lady, Sarah Palin. When she speaks, she goes on and on without taking a breath. If she truly listened to herself, she'd plug the pie hole and go shoot a moose. Honestly, does she think she's intelligent enough to be appointed a senate seat? Oh let me guess, " I'm a maverick, and I can sit with my maverick friend johnny, and we can say and do mavericky stuff, you betcha!'......go away lady, please. There is no need to hear from you now, or did you not get the memo? You Lost! And as a consolation, you can have the clothes, but you must promise to never, never, never, never, never talk to anyone from the media, Never!.

Go Begich!

nobama democrats across america can suck it, looks like thats the only thing theyre able to do. praising the nobama family for anything they do, getting on their knees for nobama, licking the ground the nobamas walk on. plus praising anyone that nobama appoints to his soon to fail clinton cabinet. when that admin fails, the new slogan in 2012 will be "nobama nicht ändern, wir brauchen Palin Macht", and people will overwhelmingly voting for palin power. democrats dont know how to run anything, such as, when clinton was potus, he had a democratic congress and it didnt last that long, because the democrats know only one thing to do, self destruct.

This trailer trash needs go back and stay in Alaska. I'm sooooooooooo sick of her and her horrible voice.

BREAKING NEWS!!!

As of tonight, Democrat Mark Begich has just taken the lead over Republican Ted Stevens by "3 votes", with 45,000+ votes left to be counted. The remaining votes to be counted tomorrow.

That annoying buzz in our ears...why isn't she gone yet? Please, please CNN – report only about news that we care about. Palin is history...a brief blip on the American map. Thank God...

GET THE REPULBICAN CROOK OUT OF OFFICE. THEIR NEEDS TO A MESSAGE CROOKED POLICTIANS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO REPRESENT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

WATCH SARAH ON LARRY KING: "I will help the press..." Sounds like for sarah campaign is still on??

What in Gods name is wrong with this homosapien?

what about Bristols wedding?

Tell me its called off and you can equate the Palins with the Clintons

'Sleazy"

Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Heartening to see Alaska come to its' senses. Maybe this corrupt, convicted politician can join his governor in being defeated, and he and Palin, media willing, can disappear into the sunset, specially now that it's winter.

The democrat now leads by 3 votes ....

Does the 2nd amendment apply to Moose in Alaska? Hope it does

Does the 2nd amenment apply to Moose in Alaska? Hope it does

If Stevnens wins

And is voted out

and Palin appoints herself

It will prove that Republicans are stuck in an ugly past

If Jindal accepts it......it confirms the uselessness of any Republican

Ah there is a possibility of a Democrat from Alaska. That would really throw the spanner in the works for our heroine Plain.

GO BEGICH!

I hope Stevens loses by a wide margin so that Alaska mess will come to a close.

Begich is ahead by 3 votes. The lead can increase because appears that eraly voting favors Begich and those votes are now being counted.

Ted Stevens another corupt GOP Necon needs to go he was found guilty and the icing on this cake will be his downfall and defeat .

Its time for real change and Ted Stevens is going down for good .

Democratic challenger Mark Begich I perdict in the winds of Political change in our nation will come out the winner when its all over .

If the numbers are any indication its going the Democrats way .

This count is going in the right direction. If Mark Begich wins this Senate seat – the victory is 2 fold. The dems pick up ANOTHER seat and Sarah Palin will have to sit up in Alaska being governor there – which will take her out of the limelight. She can't see reality for what it is – the republicans lost the election. I truly do not see Obama asking Caribou Barbie for advice on ANY level. She needs to finally stay up in Alaska. She is dangerously ambitious. Can you say "hype over substance"?

Pailn said she'd reach out to Obama and his spokeswoman Ms. Jarret said Obama would welcome her. I think he should be applauded considering how she slandered him in the election.It just goes to show no matter what people say about him he is determined to move forward.He already knows there will be people that no matter what he says or do will say the worst about him but this is not the way he see going forwarded no matter what those think that don't support him.But what I don't understand whether he is president or not why would she accept any position in his cabinet if she thinks he pals around with terriost.And what about that silly woman in the red sweater that said he was a arab.How ridiculus are these people?Palin still thinks she can fool the american people.And you would think after all the campaigning she did the first thing she'd want to do is spend some family time with her kids especially her down syndrome baby instead of trying to get an interview with all the major news networks.After the Katie Couric interview I bet she wont do another one with Katie .I listen to her today long enough rambling on on about Ayers and Obama and in another breath she's talking about working with Obama.When she spoke about Obama's girls I thought she would say they also were involved with Ayers thats just how unstable she is.The media is giving her more air time than McCain and he was the presidential candidate.Please just let her go back to Alaska so she and Todd can have continue to have more babies even if she is 44 years old as if that will stop her

Is there an ACORN in Alaska?

I have no idea how any Alaskan could vote for a man convicted of multiple felonies. And you wonder why you have such a horrible reputation? Idiots.

Oh, and you can keep you governor because we do NOT want her anywhere near the White House.

I hope Begich wins. Stevens, like all Republicans, just has no shame.

Too close to count.... in that case, I think it should go to the one that isn't a convicted felon.

perhaps a easy way to end a bad situation. just come up with some"extra" votes that weren`t counted. atleast if stevens loses by votes he wont have to be kicked out of the senate for being a convicted felon. who said being a polititian was easy hahahahhahahaha.

Let the process proceed.all votes must be counted Sen Stevens has served and met the needs of ALASKA as per his duty to bring home the PORK???????????. now lets move on and adhere to the rule of lawPedro(Pete)

Go Begich!!!!!! We absolutely do not want Palin nominaing herself to the Senate. Keep her in Alaska and DO NOT let her come back to the lower 48!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only in Alaska are ALL things possible i.e., felons run for the senate, governors escape abuse of power charges and the AIP is of no significance to the media although a certain party was running to be vice president. Only in Alaska would this be possible.

Let's hope it shrinks ever farther. The last thing we need in Sarah Palin appointing her or appointing the wrong person to the position.

I saw her on the Situation Room saying that she would help President Elect Obama in one sentence and attack him in the next. Her kind of help he doesn't need.

Count every last one. Whatever the outcome, make sure no voter is left out.

Of course, this may be considered a "leftist" or "socialist" view these days. I consider it patriotic. If you don't want to count all the votes, move to a country that doesn't have elections.

By the way, the Alaska permanent fund is one of the most socialist transfers of wealth in the US, but I don't hear anyone complaining about Socialist Sarah and her IAP member husband's lack of patriotism...

CNN Please do us all a favor and stop the coverage of Sarah Palin. Seriously, how many stories of her are on your ticker everyday??? ENOUGH ALREADY !!!!! There are more important things happening to people ie losing jobs, health insurance, investments etc, and instead of focusing on those things to help us find a solution, you rather feature a woman who was rejected by the American people. I just dont get why are you still talking about her. Its quite disappointing I must say !!!!

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED UP THERE IN ALASKA ! TO MUCH ICE
UP THERE ALSO,TOO...

I think that Alaska needs a federal probe into their election situation. They were set for record turnout like everywhere else and they have barely matched their '04 turnout. And they have found tampering in the past.

PLEASE LET IT BE MARK BEGICH THE WINNER!!

Oh Please! Please! Please let it be Mark Begich the winner!

If a state will elect a convicted felon to represent them, it says a lot about the people in the state.
