Missed Opportunity for Maverickiness
The Anonymous Liberal —
I must say I'm surprised by the lack of response from the McCain campaign to the Stevens conviction. Sarah Palin issued a somewhat ambiguous statement about the conviction and McCain himself, as far as I can tell, has said nothing. It seems to me that's a real missed opportunity. Both McCain and Palin style themselves as maverick reformers who are willing to stick it to the their own party. McCain has had a long and contentious relationship with Stevens; there's no love lost there. And much of Palin's carefully crafted image revolves around her supposed willingness ...

Think Progress —
Yesterday, Anchorage mayor Mark Begich was declared the winner in Alaska’s tight U.S. Senate race, defeating Ted Stevens’s hopes of coming back for a seventh term. As the AP notes, “Tuesday’s tally of just over 24,000 absentee and other ballots gave Begich 146,286, or 47.56 percent, to 143,912, or 46.76 percent, for Stevens.” A big part of Stevens’s downfall was his conviction in October on seven felony charges for making false statements.
