Slog - Comments on Uncle Ted Indicted http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/uncle_ted_indicted Alaska Senator Ted Stevens, known affectionately as "Uncle Ted" for his habit of keeping the people of Alaska flush with pork-barrel gifts, will be facing seven criminal counts stemming from a federal corruption investigation. (Cue triumphant cheer from Maria Cantwell?)...

Stevens is one of the worst Senators, possibly the worst, and Alaska has been a cesspool of corrupt politics.

At present Begich, the D candidate to take Stevens out, is ahead by about 8 points.
Looking good for him now.

And McCain ahead of Obama in Alaska by about 6 points. Obama is going to go to Hawaii he says. He should add on Alaska, dominate news coverage in all 50 states just becaue of novelty of this, visit soldiers somewhere, have huge rally in Anchorage and put state into play.

Underscores 50 state theme and fascinates media. And photo shot in beautiful ANWR.

So one down, two to go.
