You’re assuming that Begich is going to win. I believe that. But it’s not a done deal.

No, I was suggesting that if Stevens steps down before next Tuesday, one way to interpret that new Alaska law is that as Governor, MsBull…winkle must then call a Special Election.

The underlying focus of that new Alaska law is that the Governor can no longer appoint someone to fill a Senatorial vacancy and must call a Special Election.

I’m sure the resident Legal Eagles can clarify or add some reality to my proposition.

I’m slightly confused. If Stevens steps down before the election, Maddog is suggesting that Palin will be appointed to the Stevens seat, then the AK Senate election will have to be rebooted? That’s not right. Mark Begich just wins and that’s that, right? It’s too late for Palin to switch races. Maddog had me going for a minute.

What’s wrong with pretzels? *g

toobz term is up

toobz has no right to occupy the office of Senator after January 3, 2009

there is a CONSTITUTIONALLY MANDATED election to fill the office of United States Senator for the term beginning January 3, 2009

ted toobz stevens doesn’t own the fookin seat

he can’t just “will it” to somebody

princess pandora could only appoint herself in a meaningful way if toobz had any time remaining on his current term

the time is up for toobz

Stevens’ conviction is actually good news for Republicans.
Since he’s electoral roadkill anyway, calling for Stevens to resign is a freebie way
for candidates to appear to distance
themselves from corruption.
