Why is it too late to find a replacement? Surely, there is a prominent republican in Alaska that can at least make a run at it. Oddly, Palin would be a good choice for this; but seeing as she is occupied, she should be taking a lead role in the selection of a replacement. With her endorsement, the Alaska GOP would have enough time to run an effective write-in campaign.

So in turn we should be able to convict Obama of his guilt failing to report yet accepting MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in contributions and gifts from unnamed sources, particularly from FOREIGN ENTITIES.

Good. One less RINO to worry about.

The others had better learn from this.

Ted Stevens was by no reasonable criteria a RINO. And even if he were a RINO exactly, what lesson should a RINO learn from this? Not to accept bribes?

Madmonk, have considered thinking before posting?

UPDATE from DALE IN ATLANTA:

Wow, unfreaking-believeable!

I thought after all this time, with all this attention, with all the news coverage, with all the attention to the subject on this Blog, it couldn’t happen!

But, my $15.00 Contribution to The One, The Messiah, the Marxist-Muslim, Barack HUSSEIN Obama (PBUH)(SAW)(SWT); officially CLEARED my Bank this morning, and now belongs to history!

That was $15.00 “donation” I made with my Debit/Bank Card last week, in the name of “Heywood JaBlowmee” using a completely false address, zip, employer, email address, etc.

The only correct and accurate information I put when I submitted the donation, was the card number itself.

Which I have subsequently cancelled….

Un-freaking real…

Back on point, is there anyone in charge of the Republican Party who could have told that old fool to delay his trial until 09, for the good of the party? I’m in Illinois where the ILGOP is nonexisitent for the same reason.

Factoid,

although we (most of us) don’t like the libs here. I respectfully request that you not speak ill of the dead. Or at least are a little less callous in your description of Mel Carnahan, who was killed in a plane crash along with his son 16 October 2000.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_Carnahan

His wife was appointed in his place and served for 2 years until being defeated by Jim Talent in a Special Election in 2002.

PS. Please delete my previous 2 posts stupid BB code not working right!

If he continues to stand will he be allowed to vote for himself?

I would have liked Palin to be more explicit about what the ‘right thing’ is that the Senator should do.

Let the guy keep on keeping on, then pull the rug out with a governor appointment?

This guy gets the shun and the governor, as much as I admire her, needs to let the voters stone the party that allowed him to run in the first place. Screw the ‘dems would do it too’ crap.

[...] Ed Morrissey: Where does that leave the Republicans? Up a creek in terms of their Senate race in Alaska. The GOP did not do much to deter Stevens from running for re-election, and the primary gave him a relatively easy win. It’s far too late to find a replacement, so the Democrats get an easy pick-up for that seat. And, quite frankly, the Republicans deserve to lose it for not doing a better job of defeating Stevens in the primary. [...]

If Ted Stevens was a decent human being he would pledge to resign once elected so a replacement could be nominated and people could vote for his ballot position as a player to be named later.

The dirt bag will probably announce he is going to search for the real bribe taker.

Good riddance you crooked, lying, stealing sorry piece of crap. I hope you and Duke enjoy the rest of your lives in prison.
I respect Ted Kennedy and William Jefferson more than you. At least they joined the party that endorses the kind of crap that you pulled and actually promotes it – you could have been President if you would have been a Dem. Why did you have to try and destroy us with all of your stupidity.
You suck. cya in hell.

What a disgrace. Good riddance. Stevens is precisely what is wrong with elected officials staying i office too long.

Too bad he was so selfish he didn’t step down before to allow a suitable replacement.

That’s the only scenario. It what the libs would do too.

Actually, if you recall, the libs elected a dead guy in Missouri in 2000. That’s how John Ashcroft, who lost that election, ended up being AG.

How about the people of Ak electing him anyway and win he gets sentenced the job is declared vacant and the Gov gets to appoint a new person?

That brings back memories.
