Can anyone tell us why a convicted felon is allowed to run for Senate?

Yes he is probably guilty but the prosecution didn''t turn over evidence and just to many thing went wrong during the trial. It should have been a mistrial. I would still prefer the democrat running for his job to win but fare is fare......and there must not be any good lawyers in Alaska because in New York it would have been a mistrial long ago.

Same old tired GOP cr@p. When they lose the file a lawsuit and have votes suppressed so they can win.When one of them gets caught committing a crime and is found guilty its a Democratic witch hunt and tampered evidence.
Why don''''t you all admit the GIG is up you have been finally caught and the American people are tired of your $hit and will not put up with it any longer.
We will run you all out on a rail and anyone else that you send in that resembles the Corrupt GOP party will be run out also.

You are wrong liberal, the people love the republican party and will show up in droves to send your Osama guy back to whence he came. President McCain, get used to it.

You notice how they didn''t name the other four? Bets as to what party they belong to?

Stevens is the sixth senator convicted of criminal charges. The last previous one was Republican David Durenberger of Minnesota,

Politicians like Stevens claim to be experts on virtually any subject, yet when caught committing crimes, their defense is I know nothing!

You are more of an Idiot than I first suspected.
How do you get innocent out of taped conversations where he was told to write a check for $160,000 then they would copy it and send it back to him to give the illusion to investigators that he paid.

Let me guess you sent money to a fund to bail out the Neo-Nazi''''s that wanted to assinate Obama.

It was all fake evidence. Liberals will stop at nothing to jail all those who oppose them.

If Democrats were spinning this it would be clearly obvious to them, that he was framed by vast left wing conspiracy. That Stevens actually bought these renovations on a 5 year no interest payment plan that has gone terribly wrong.

That this is just an example of the lefts unending smear campaign and out right lies and distortions to defame a man of the people.

"Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens was convicted of seven corruption charges Monday in a trial that threatened to end the 40-year career of Alaska''s political patriarch in disgrace."

Thanks god for this otherwise the MSM would have had to do another story about Pailin''s shoes of McCain picking his nose or something even more petty to find something to slam republicans.

Apparantly the partisan witch hunt fooled this jury and has railroaded an innocent man to jail.

Senator Ted Stevens epitomizes the Republican party: old, worn out, corrupt, and in bad need of an overhaul from top to bottom. Seriously, if the GOP doesn''t take a good, hard inward look and figure out how to reinvent itself, its future is pretty dismal. Rather than attracting people, the party that boasts exclusivity is now turning away true conservatives in droves, guys like George Will, Colin Powell, and Christopher Buckley. Even the Chicago Tribune for the first time ever endorsed a Democrat for president.

Wake up, GOP, and smell the coffee. It''s for your own good.
