SocraticGadfly: Can Ted Stevens still win? And… a nightmare scenario

Can Ted Stevens still win? And… a nightmare scenario

Per the rhetorical-question head of this article, I wouldn’t count him out.

Many Alaskans like the earmark gravy, despite their desire to secede.

Others will see this as an opportunity to say “eff you, Washington” with their votes.

So, don’t count Ted out for re-election yet.

And, if you want a nightmare?

If he is re-elected, then expelled from the Senate, one Gov. Sarah Palin would name his replacement.

And, in many such cases, a governor resigns with the understanding the former lieutenant governor will appoint him/her.
