This is the end of a bad stretch, you are most certainly wrong. It will take us years, not weeks or months to dig our way out of the mess that the "current occupant" (thanks to Garrison Keillor) of the White House got us into. In fact, it may take decades. But the new guy can make a big difference, and I think he will. Congratulations Barack.
As for Alaska's Senator Ted Stevens (formerly "Senator-for-Life" now "Senator facing seven-to-life"), although he's 3300 votes ahead, there are some 70,000+ early, absentee and questioned ballots left to count. Mark Begich, the "wunderkind" mayor of Anchorage is still in it.
Ethan Berkowitz' campaign against the state's lone U.S. Representative, and one of its foremost embarrassments - Don Young - is still mathematically viable but unlikely. What is it about Alaskans that makes us keep reelecting our aging felons and our clownish, arrogant assholes? Is it the cold, the arsenic in the water leached from the mine tailing's, or is it a affection for pork,stupidity and ignorance?

Most certainly we are just at the beginning of the massive repair and renovation of our country.
Alaska is not the only state with a penchant for electing decicient candidates. Illinois has a long tradition of sending out Governors and Secretarys of State to prison. The problem you guys hhave with Stevens is he kept getting re-elected, it's so much easier to get a conviction after they leave office. I guess the independent spirit of Alaskans is showing through, even getting rid of Senators is harder in Alaska.
