Senator Begich

Anchorage Daily News:
Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens lost his job to Mark Begich on Tuesday, putting an end to the era of "Uncle Ted" as the dominant force in Alaska politics.
Begich, the Democratic mayor of Anchorage, widened his lead to 3,724 votes in Tuesday's count of absentee and questioned ballots. The lead is insurmountable, as the only votes left to count are approximately 2,500 ballots from overseas.
This brings the Dems to 58 seats in the Senate (including Lieberman and Sanders) with two races yet to be decided, Minnesota and Georgia.
