And so, Caribou Barbie contemplates another long hard winter.

I don’t mean to suggest that we shouldn’t expect anything from Martin (IMO the least likely winner among the three races remaining), but the psych-factor of crowning Chambliss is not to be ignored.

We have that one coming. I am not above vengeance.

Begich will be better than Mark Warner and Kay Hagan and probably Mark Udall. We won’t like him on ANWR, but he’ll be fine on a host of other issues.

As far as the incoming Dems thus far, I’d rank them: 1) Jeff Merkley, 2) Tom Udall, 3) Jeanne Shaheen, 4) Begich, 5) Mark Udall, 6) Warner and 7) Hagan. Franken would slot in after Tom Udall. Martin, kind of a wild card. Really only two solid liberal Dems in the bunch.

They want him gone. Imagine if the Dems said “well, we want to be fair to Senator Stevens. Let’s do a full investigation and let all the appeals play out. It’s only fair…” In fact, I imagine Republican operatives are doing their best right now to make sure all of Begich’s votes are counted.

Because there is no such thing as a good ~~Republican~~ radical extremist racist prick masquerading as a Republican.

There.

A story begins as follows:

Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and a good Republican were sitting together…

How do you know this story is fictitious?

Because there is no such thing as a good Republican.

Heh, what if there are actually two different fixer teams up there trying to cancel each other out? That’d help explain why there are thousands of new ballots found every day.

but I’ve had a suspicion they were really sent to deliver the election.

To whom?

Seriously though, Stevens winning would be a nightmare for the Republicans pretty much any way it plays out. They are probably better off losing a close race than “winning” with Tubes and having to pry his hands off the reins before he drags more of them down with him.
