As a convicted felon, Stevens can still run for the Senate, but is he now barred from voting for his own re-election? Perhaps I should direct my question to Katherine Harris.

BTW Taniel, I am merely reflecting on a personal take of the events of today, so I apologize for my overly subjective analysis of the circumstances. I am enjoying your wodnerful objective blogging.

Like a housing bubble, a towering and most powerful figure in American politics or popular culture can burst any moment. The Three Corrupt Alaskans, palin, Young and Stevens, are the poster children of GOP hypocrisy, cronyism, and decadence. It is amazing that all 3 powerful Republicans are facing ethical problems, which signals to voters that the GOP is a party of unethical politics interested mainly in advancing party politics, power politics, and ideologies at odd with the fundamentals of Americanism.
And the should-be-lobotomiz, subhuman-like skinheads who thought they are making a great contribution to advancing institutionalized racism by trying to kill Obama. Oh well, any president is subject to harm inspired by popular anger or individual grudges. What a sad state of affairs.

Unfortunately I wouldn’t put anything past the American voting public. Why, for instance, is there no pressure on Sarah Palin to resign after a state probe found that she had abused the powers of her office to pursue the personal vendetta against her ex-brother in law? Citizen apathy and complacency seem to have reached their apotheosis in Alaska.

Taniel, the analysis can be boiled down to 3 words: Stevens is finished.
