Alaska's "Senator for Life" was found guilty on seven counts in federal court today. Little stuff, petty really. What a tawdry way to end such a career. I've lived in Alaska since 1980 and I can't remember ever voting for the guy. I have met him, I think on two occasions, Alaska being the biggest yet smallest state in the Union. His conviction has generated all manner of permutative scenarios as to what will happen if:
a. Ted wins his 6th term and then goes to prison or
b. Ted wins, then resigns, and then what, and
c. Should Sarah lose and come back to Alaska (which seems likely at the moment) what role might she play in this, and
d. If Anchorage Mayor and "Boy Wonder" wins the election AND Ted Stevens goes to the slammer, what becomes of the "Ted Stevens International Airport" in Anchorage? The taxpayers of America (mostly NOT Alaskans) paid for the improvements and signage proclaiming Ted's immortality.
Can they ask for it back?
