So you're saying everyone in Alaska voted for Stevens because he is white?

When the exact same situation (actually less bad, as Jefferson isn't convicted yet) happens with a black guy, it's because all the darkies are so damn racist that they just vote for people based on skin color.
Classy.
I'm saying Alaskans voted for Stevens because he is an incumbent, because he is a Republican which the vast majority of Alaskans are, and yes because he is white.
You might say Jefferson isn't convicted yet but what he has done, especially immediately after Katrina, should have him locked up and thrown away the keys.
You have to admit that a lot of black people turned out to vote last night because a black guy was running. Everyone agrees with that including Obama, McCain, various black leaders, pundits, and virtually anyone with half a brain.
They aren't going to show up en masse to vote one black guy in and at the same time vote a white girl in to replace another black guy. I know this from common sense and due to the fact I actually live here unlike you.
Hell, if you want to argue THIS FUCKING FACT then argue it with the future felon Congressman Jefferson because he said the same thing..........
Jefferson easily tops Moreno in Democratic primary

Indicted U.S. Rep. William Jefferson lived to fight another day as he easily defeated political neophyte Helena Moreno to win the Democratic primary, bolstered no doubt by a large, Obama-bolstered African-American turnout in his Congressional District.
Jefferson, who still faces a trial on bribery and money laundering charges, acknowledged Obama?s influence on voters and the fact that it probably helped him secure a win.
?I think it?s an extraordinary help,? he said early in the day. Jefferson must still defeat a Republican challenger in a December general election.
Jefferson had an answer to people he said would wonder how he continues to get re-elected despite his troubles.
Game set match.
Thus is the difference between you and me. I would love to see Stevens in jail because he is a felon. But unlike you I would also love to see Jefferson in jail because he is going to be a felon very soon.
I'm not playing for a "team" where as you are which throws all common sense, credibility, and frankly any type of realistic debate out of the window because you are a hypocritical douche bag.
