Republicans --
Let's do this. You folks vote for our guy in Alaska to dump a criminal Republican Senator. Our folks in Louisiana will vote for a Republican so we can finally be rid of the cancer that is Congressman Bill Jefferson.
Only one problem. The IDIOTS in Jefferson's district are likely to re-elect the damn crook. What a hypocritical shame.
I have tremendous respect for the Alaska Republicans who realize they are well rid of both Stevens and Don Young. And yes, you can go back to working against the Democrats after Begich and Young's opponent are elected. I just wish Louisiana Democrats had that much integrity. Hate to be so harsh against the party I love but it's true. Jefferson is a horrible man.
Jefferson's district is, alas, too Democratic to ever oust him in a general election. The Democrats just have to keep hitting him with Karen Carters until one sticks. Alaska at least votes for Democrats occasionally (and, while Stevens in vulnerable in a GE, he'd probably be invincible in a primary, the opposite of Jefferson).
