Hulk Smushed! Mark Begich declared winner in Alaska
By David Neiwert Tuesday Nov 18, 2008 7:57pm
Mark Begich finally takes down Ted Stevens, the rampaging Hulk from Alaska.
Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, the Republican lawmaker convicted on felony corruption charges in October, appears to have lost his bid for re-election to Democrat Mark Begich, according to a release from Begich's campaign and unofficial results from state officials.
Democrat Mark Begich (left) has claimed victory over Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska.The statement and results Tuesday come two weeks after the election, after absentee ballots were counted.
With 100 percent of Alaska's precincts reporting, Begich, the mayor of Anchorage, had roughly 47.7 percent of the vote, compared with about 46.6 percent for Stevens, according to unofficial results posted on the Alaska Secretary of State's Web site.
He appears to have bested Stevens by 3,724 votes, according to the posted results.
So much for Sarah Palin's hopes of sliding over to the Senate.
And the Democratic tally in the Senate now reaches 58, with two more races still in the balance.
Rarrrrghhh!!!

Now on to Georgia, then Minnesota!!
And Saxby too.
with the election behind us and Alaska in our column you betcha the netroots and heavy hitters of the Democratic Party are going to throw everything they got at these 2 elections now, especially Georgia where there is a major score to settle over the swiftboating and smearing of triple amputee war hero Max Cleland by combat dodging chickenhawk coward Saxby Chambliss. I want both these senate seats towards the 60 goal but I am really licking my chomps over the possibility of unseating Chambliss in Georgia.
and Kentucky, and New York, and Rrawwwrrrr!!!!
(In my best Howard Dean impression).
I live in KY, and there's just no way in hell that we're turning blue anytime soon. Way too many uneducated sheeple here.
God (and Begich) just slammed that door right in your two faces, Sarah.
You betcha!
The Lord slamed 2 doors in Palin's face in less than a month. Ya think she'll get the Lord's message and end her 15 minutes?
No.
Sarah, oh say it ain't so, Palin, will never go away. Also, uhm, and she has already been slated to be a speaker at CPAC, that lovely group who allowed Coulter her Edwards is a faggot platform. She and, uhm, also, Huckabee, have both been slated to speak (which he can and she cannot).
If only this one would go away.
We should all receive god's blessing in that respect.
In a way it's good I guess. Perhaps we can do everything we can to help her be the face of the GOP. That should pick us up a few more extra congressional seats in 2010.
Yeah, I wouldn't count her out just yet. I'm sure the little wheels in her head are spinning in overdrive trying to figure out ways to maintain the limelight on herself.
The coffin isn't nailed shut just yet but that wooden political stake is a little closer to her heart! Praise Jesus!
[Deleted. Please don't go there-Sitemonitor]
Wow, Sarah Palin not only perhaps cost McCain the election she has really energized the left. The gift that keeps on giving.
Thanks John for picking Sarah Palin and for giving the GOP's new poster child her platform!
Just like the donations to Planned Parenthood after McCain's air quote Women's Health comment during that last debate.
Palin's debate increased donations to Obama.
She is very, very good for dems.
Maybe she's a closet Democrat.
She must be bumping into a lot of gay republicans.
They're all saying to her, "Oooh...cooties!!!"
Wow, Sarah Palin not only perhaps cost McCain the election she has really energized the left. The gift that keeps on giving.
Actually, after driving a wooden stake in their hearts beheading follows.
All the stake really does is nail them into their graves, it's the decapitation that is the coup de grace.
In movies, they use the cruciform to immobilise them and the stake becomes the coup de grace.
Oh wait...Alaska...30 days of night...silver bullets, anyone?
Are Alaskans that stupid? Wait, don't answer that.
Conservatives is so stupid!
Go to Comedy Central & see if the Daily Show from October 20th is still up. Jason Jones goes to Wasilla to question the mayor,... it's classic.
Stevens in Jail..
I'd avoid the Wasilla metropolitan area.
which includes the 1 pump fillin station on the ice crusted outskirts.
And she was so good at filibustering.
But with Begich's win, she won't be able to capitalize immediately on her newfound popularity. In two years, her sell-by date could have passed (we can all only hope).
Congratulations, Mayor Begich. May you do your best to help your state and the nation and be a credit to both, unlike your predecessor.
She can still slide up and down stripper poles.
I wonder what kind of oil she uses?
:}
Happy Birthday Uncle Ted!
Now, time to rename that airport...
Talibunny International after Sarah Palin?
William Jefferson Clinton's International Airport?
I bet all the flight attendants will be called stewardesses, be young, and have thigh high miniskirts again.
Sarah Palin is stranded on that bridge to nowhere, praise Jesus!
Buh-bye.
And Al Franken is going to be next. Buh-bye Normy. Do I hear a 60 anyone?
Oh, and with some moderate republican's up for re-E in 2010 in some very blue states, I think Mitch the American people hating corporate fascist, isn't going to be able to stonewall much anymore.
I love the smell of harmless, powerless republicans!
Maybe you assholes shouldn't have stuck by Chimpy the last two years. Hehehehe.......
Were it not for the fact he wrecked our country we should get down on bended knee and thank the Lord for Chimp. He has single handedly done what we could have never done on our own, taken down the Republican Party.
...but, too bad W and his buds have taken down the whole rest of the country with them....
Perfect.
Steven's commented "I wouldn't wish what I'm going through on anyone, my worst enemy," he lamented to reporters. "I haven't had a night's sleep for almost four months."
A lot of us haven't had a good night's sleep in 8 years. It's your turn asshole. Karma's a bitch.
Touche and high five!
Would anyone really want to see the embarrassment of a 60 seat Dem senate STILL failing to get the job done?
If they don't have 60 at least they don't have to flaunt how spineless they are.
is in africa, she is there to meet the mayor, of africa.
Indeed.
don't drop the soap.
God slammed that Senate door in Sarah's face.
I fell like America is turning around. I really am feeling better about the direction the country seems to be heading. I never imagined I would fell this happy.
I hope it lasts!
i'm relly hapy to
No worries, prison is just a series of tubes, you'll get out one day!
I guarantee he'll find a series of "tubes" waiting on him in prison.
It's such a low margin of victory, there could easily be a run-off.
But that costs money, that stevens might want to save for his appeals.
Almost indubitably they'll be a run-off
steven's is old
he probably has prostate problems.
Hey Gov, it looks like your"God"back doored you ,rather than "opened" a door for you! This is so funny in a bunch of ways.Ple-e-e-e-ase get back to work and plan for 2012! We (democrats)want you to run in'12,ple-e-e-ase!P.S. Does God have a big cock?The first Dud says yes He does!
david duke can be her running mate.
Two more to go. ; 0 )
oh well...hopefully the next nap he takes will be a long one.
Couldn't happen to a better guy . . . About time these Republicans learn laws are made for all.
Ted just crossed the "Bridge to Unemployment".
Ted is going to discover that his colon is a series of tubes with a single entrance.
I guess that means she won't be taking up after where Ted Stevens left off. I can hear her now, " Ted lost? Damn, that means no more new clothes for me!" Like I said, Palin is five letters short of Palindrome. Which means back to where you belong, so stay away from Obama's white house. While she undergoes a bridge to nowhere, can she undergo a bridge to sanity? Or does she have to reform that, too?

LOOOOOOSERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
According to NBC news, Stevens will earn a $120K per annum pension for life. How can this be, when he has been convicted of a felony & he misused the authority of the very office awarding the pension?
...that crime pays and pays big.
to all the workers in this country - government or otherwise - who have to answer questions about having a felony background when applying for a job, and likely never get that job if they have such a background. They face a harsh chance of finding good-paying work - forget about finding work that pays a $120K annual pension + health benefits after they've committed a job-related crime.
And what a "screw you" to every hard-working government (or other) employee who faces having a paycheck docked when they show up late from lunch, or work under the thumb of severe workrules that don't calculate a normal accrual benefit on holiday hours or taking earned time off.
Is a man of convictions; seven of them.
Proving his concept of the internet as a series of tubes- the sound of flushing sweeps the country as one more turd swirls down the memory hole.
Good riddance to old rubbish.
The Associated Press has declared Democrat Mark Begich the victor in the US Senate contest against Republican incumbent Ted Stevens.
