A ray of sunshine in Alaska
After a hard day of counting and with roughly half of the remaining votes done, Mark Begich has come from more than 3200 votes back to a 3 vote lead.
The tally was 125,019 to 125,016.Let's hope that Mark can save Stevens the embarassment of having his saggy, felonious old ass thrown out of the Senate.
Neither side expected to be able to claim victory Wednesday. By late afternoon, officials had counted more than 44,000 of the roughly 90,000 outstanding ballots.
"Right now we're cautiously optimistic," said Bethany Lesser, spokeswoman for the state Democratic Party. "There's obviously more votes to come in, but it goes to show how hard we worked to get the vote out early and how important that was."
