Congratulations are in order to new Alaska Senator Mark Begich. He has (finally) been declared the winner over his Republican opponent, Senator Ted Stevens. Stevens has served Alaska in the Senate seemingly forever. He is the longest serving Republican Senator ever. He is one of the most crooked politicians in the Senate today. Bye bye Ted and don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.

Still to go?

We have the recount in the race for the Minnesota seat formerly held by one of our greatest Senators, Paul Wellstone. The race is between Al Franken and Norm Coleman. Naturally, the Republicans are doing everything in their power to ensure that as few votes as possible are counted. They are making accusations against the Democratic Secretary of State in Minnesota. Well, they are accusing him of being crooked without actually offering anything resembling evidence that he is crooked. Typical. It is believed that Franken has a very good shot in a recount.

In Georgia, we have the runoff election between Senator Saxby Chambliss and Jim Martin. The American people deserve a quality progressive like Jim Martin in the Senate. Saxby Chambliss is a farce and should be ridicules and laughed out of office. Let's give the people the Senator they deserve. (More on this race later.)
