I wanted just about every Republican candidate on the national scene to win last night, but one who I wanted to be taken down was Alaska's Ted Stevens. Governor Palin has cleaned up a lot of corruption in the state, but Stevens not only won the primary, but is leading in the general election, too.
Corrupt officials such as these cannot continue serving in our high offices. Hopefully Stevens does the right thing and resigns. Sarah Palin can then appoint someone else (you know Curt Schilling was born there....)

The problem that I see is that the conservatives who currently dominate the Republican party have such a total disdain for the functions performed by government that they often see nothing wrong with corruptly using government to feather their own nest. "Duke" Cunningham and Bob Ney are classic examples.
That attitude is not unique to Republicans, but seems a lot more prevalent among the conservatives.
Fortunately for both Alaska and America, it appears that the votes from the Alaska outback are coming in and defeating Stevens.
