She Wouldn't "Run" the Senate, but She Could "Run For" the Senate . . .

Senator Stevens of Alaska is now a convicted felon.

He now could:

• Withdraw from the election, or
• Stay in, then:


• Lose the election. (Democrat)
  
• Win the Election, then, (Republican)
  


• Exonerate himself, OR (Republican)
  
• Be expelled by the Senate (Up for Grabs)
  

Alaska law does not permit the Governor from appointing a "replacement" Senator. However, by either withdrawing from the election, OR by being expelled by the Senate, he could force a "special election" for the Senate seat.

Any bets about Sarah Palin's name being on that ballot???
