Wow...that is extremely lacking and more than a bit sad. Did you just move up here? Stevens has done a incredible amount for this state. Much of what we are today is to to the Senator.
That being said, the Gov.'s case against Stevens was, IMO, lacking and didn't prove anything, except that the prosecutionis incompetant. Hopefully Stevens will get the mistrial he should have gotten long ago through the appeals system, and all will be righted. On top of this, Alaska, not DC, is where he should have been tried. This was, I believe, completely a political move by the Pros. to ensure Stevens conviction.
On top of this, who gives a crap what McCain said,that also was entirely political, due to when he said it.As wasPalin's remark. She will have her own slate of questions to answer once she returns to the state.ForStevens to step down, the only people that should ask, and the only people that need to ask, are the people of Alaska. NotMcCain, not Palin, the PEOPLE of Alaska....Hey! Wait a minute! Isn't that why we have elections? Well I'll be,it is!:celebrate
That being said,Stevens got my vote, and a helluva lot of other folks up here too. I honestly hope he gets reelected, cleared of any wrong doing, and goes back to doing his job for Alaska.
