Convicted Felon NOT Elected
Well as it turned out, the race got closer and closer and closer, and eventually Ted Stevens lost his lead. Now it appears the Senate will not have to evict him since he isn't coming back. We have another Democrat in the Senate. Further, Sarah Palin won't get into this act; she'll go back to firing people and shooting moose in Alaska.
Some of the other results are: Obama won North Carolina, Indiana, and picked Omaha off Nebraska, which otherwise went to McCain. McCain won Missouri and Montana. Merkley won in Oregon, giving the Senate another Democrat. Coleman leads Franken by a mere 200 votes, and a recount is going on, making this election resemble the Bush-Gore contest of 2000, and Rush Limbaugh is still an idiot. There will be a runoff in Georgia, but just all the Barkley vote would have to go to Martin for the Democrats to take this from Saxby Chambliss, the Republican.
So now the focus is on the future and the Obama administration. Can they deal successfully with the economic crisis and the peak oil crisis that lays in wait behind it?
