How will Stevens guilty verdict effect his campaign?
“I will come home on Wednesday and ask for your vote”
Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) today released the following statement about the future of his campaign:
“I am obviously disappointed in the verdict but not surprised given the repeated instances of prosecutorial misconduct in this case. The prosecutors had to report themselves to the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility during the trial for ethical violations. Exculpatory evidence was hidden from my lawyers. A witness was kept from us and then sent back to Alaska. The Government lawyers allowed evidence to be introduced that they knew was false. I will fight this unjust verdict with every ounce of energy I have.
“I am innocent. This verdict is the result of the unconscionable manner in which the Justice Department lawyers conducted this trial. I ask that Alaskans and my Senate colleagues stand with me as I pursue my rights. I remain a candidate for the United States Senate. I will come home on Wednesday and ask for your vote.”

How will a plane's wings falling off affect it's flight path?
I like cashews but I still think Palin is a fraud.
Now they are passing around the internet that she is the CIC of the 49th Missile Intercept unit based in Alaska. She isn't. It's in the Army chain of command.
But she does have all that experience from Wasilla and with her close ties with contractors, she is ready to take Stevens place.
This from Ted Stevens' website:
I like cashews but I still think Palin is a fraud.

As a part of the Alaska National Guard, in which Palin is CIC. She's also the commander in chief of the Alaska State Defense Force (ASDF), a federally recognized militia incorporated into Homeland Security's counter terrorism plans. Palin is privy to military and intelligence secrets that are vital to the entire country's defense. As Governor of Alaska , Palin is briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counter terrorism. Her exposure to classified material may rival even Biden's and certainly by far exceeds Obama's. I doubt she comprehends half the shit she is briefed on, but the claim is legitimate.
If she had that type of experience, why didn't she say so? She said that her foreign policy experience was in the fact that she shared a maritime border with Russia. (OK.... "I can see Russia from my house" is funnier). So, my sense is that she COULD have requested such briefings, but had no need to and didn't. Because if she had, she'd have said so gladly. You betcha.
I hope you are right, and I hope Palin's next.
Alaska has more corruption than Louisiana!
How will Stevens guilty verdict effect his campaign?
I think he's going to stay in the race, and I'm sure the majority of Alaskan republican voters will vote for a convicted felon.
Will Alaskans elect him anyway?
Is Palin next?
Who built her house and how much did she pay for it?
would you like an almond?
You're an idiot.
He should be put in jail for his crimes and not be allowed to hold public office.
You're an idiot.
Everyone who disagrees with you is an idiot.
