Some How, Some Way, ConvictedSenator Ted Stevens Gets Re-Elected
Does anyone have a stake?
Ed Morrissey says he’s not sure how to feel about that. I see where he’s coming from, given that the GOP is going to need every vote in the Senate they can muster to hold up Obama and the Democrats, but I know exactly how to feel about this.
Republicans just came off a crushing defeat, and a big reason why they were defeated is the sort of corruption and big-government policies embodied by people like Ted Stevens.
The citizens of Alaska are free to choose whoever they want to represent them in the Senate. There’s nothing the GOP can do about Stevens getting re-elected. But the GOP doesn’t have to work with this crook. And refusing to work with him, and making a big deal out of that refusal, could be the party’s first step in the right direction after the gloom of yesterday’s losses.
