Alaskan Chill: Stevens Wins Big

If Americans are not going to toss the bums out and DEFEAT EVERY INCUMBENT, well, maybe they deserve what they are getting.

My patience for them is at an end. See:

"Stevens wins GOP primary in Alaska; Victory comes a month after his indictment" by Brian Faler, Bloomberg News | August 28, 2008

WASHINGTON - US Senator Ted Stevens won his Alaska Republican primary race less than a month after his indictment on corruption charges, while Representative Don Young's bid for a 19th term is too close to call.

Young, the state's longest- serving House member in history, led Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell by 145 votes out of more than 93,000 cast in Tuesday's election. Mailed ballots and the results from several precincts around the state haven't yet been counted, a process that may delay establishing a winner until next week, state elections director Gail Fenumiai said.

I smell a steal.

Stevens, 84, who was charged last month with failing to report gifts from an oil-services company, received 59,024 votes, or 64 percent, in a seven-way race, with 98 percent of precincts reporting. He predicted he will win the general election in November.

--more--"

I guess Alaskan voters don't care about the looting of the U.S. as long as they get theirs!!!

As someone once said, "Everybody loots everybody" here in AmeriKa!
