Palpatine in '08

Now, I know it's still too close to call officially because of absentee ballots, but I really have to hand it to those Alaskans up there.

They reelected a convicted felon. That is a whole new order of f'd up.

That's a pretty strongly red state up there, Alaska.

A lot of folks feel they owe Stevens, as well. Before his conviction he was wildly popular. The guy has been the senator for many decades and was personally instrumental in getting Alaska admitted to the United States, I understand.

Not saying I wouldn't have voted him down (I'm not strongly enough red or blue to vote for a party despite the person), just mentioning some factors.
