The poles are even open this weekend here on the Kenai Peninsula, and they are busy! This may prove very interesting on how both canidates and Alaskans handle the time lag.<BR/><BR/>I for one will not vote for a law maker who has been found guilty of breaking them.

And it makes sense. The Republicans can't afford association with anything perceived with corruption at this point. Their image already sucks.<BR/><BR/>And a big thumbs down to the prosecution. Come on. It's proving Ted Stevens guilty of corruption. How could it have been so difficult that you needded to circumvent judicial procedures?!<BR/><BR/>Hopefully the rest of the nations turnout can hit that 70% mark. That'd rock!<BR/><BR/>I bet the pre-conviction absentee votes will be more towards Stevens than the Nov. 4 polls. But my guess is he's going down.
