With the Ted Stevens trial down to "character witnesses" it seems apparent it will go to the jury very soon. This week, probably.
I don't know Alaska politics, but if not guilty would Stevens be a lock to win his race? If guilty will he surely lose?
And if not guilty, will it affect the Palin controversy by inference?
EDIT: If Stevens if convicted, yet stays on the ballot and wins, then the Senate would not seat him and whatever procedure is in place in Alaska to choose a replacement would go forward?
Yikes! Would Sarah Palin get to pick the Senator from Alaska?
Could she pick herself?
