Woohoo!!! 58, can we make 60???
It only took a conviction on a federal corruption charge to bring him down - what a crappy bday gift for him, but good for Alaska! Too bad for Palin, though, she won't get to nominate herself to fill the position Stevens would open up after getting kicked out of the Senate in January.
"Sen. Ted Stevens, the longest serving Republican in Senate history, narrowly lost his re-election bid Tuesday, marking the downfall of a Washington political power and Alaska icon who couldn't survive a conviction on federal corruption charges. His defeat by Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich moves Senate Democrats within two seats of a filibuster-proof 60-vote majority."
