Turnout in presidential elections hit 40-year high

WASHINGTON – Enthusiasm among blacks and Democrats for Barack Obama's candidacy pushed voter turnout in this year's elections to the highest level in 40 years.
Final figures from nearly every state and the District of Columbia showed that more than 131 million people voted, the most ever for a presidential election. A little more than 122 million voted in 2004.
This year's total is 61.6 percent of the nation's eligible voters, the highest turnout rate since 1968, when Republican Richard M. Nixon defeated Democrat Hubert Humphrey, said Michael McDonald, a political science professor at George Mason University.
States finished certifying their election results this weekend, including California on Saturday. The Electoral College was scheduled to elect Obama president on Monday, with electors meeting in each state to vote in a largely ceremonial procedure.
Turnout increased for the third straight presidential election, encouraging news for those who have warned about voter apathy. Four years ago, 60.1 percent of those eligible voted. ...
The number of registered Democrats jumped in many states, helping to propel Obama to a larger share of the vote than Sen. John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic nominee, in 44 states and the District of Columbia.
Early voting hit a new high, with about 41 million people — or more than 31 percent — voting before Election Day, either by mail or at designated sites, according to returns compiled by The Associated Press. Early voting accounted for 22 percent of the votes cast in 2004. ...
Voter turnout increased substantially in newly competitive states such as Virginia, Indiana and North Carolina, which all went for Obama after decades of favoring Republican presidential candidates. Turnout also increased in some Republican states with large black populations, such as Mississippi, South Carolina and Georgia.
North Carolina, which had competitive elections for president, governor and Senate, had the biggest increase in turnout, from 57.8 percent in 2004 to 65.8 percent this year. ...
Minnesota, with a competitive Senate race that still hasn't been decided, had the highest turnout rate, even though it dropped slightly, to 77.8 percent. It was followed by Wisconsin, Maine, New Hampshire and Iowa.
West Virginia and Hawaii tied for the lowest turnout rate, at 50.6 percent. Arkansas, Utah and Texas came close.
In all, the turnout rate increased in 33 states and the District of Columbia.
Turnout dropped in some states that did not have competitive presidential contests, such as Utah and Oregon. Oregon had been a battleground in previous presidential elections and the state had a competitive Senate race. ... Read More »
John Sharp to seek US Senate seat
12/08/2008
By APRIL CASTRO / Associated Press
http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/APStories/stories/D94UO7O00.html
Democratic former Comptroller John Sharp said Monday he'll run for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison the next time the seat goes before the voters.
Sharp, 58, said he will file the required paperwork to begin raising money and campaigning on Jan. 1. Hutchison said last week she is forming an exploratory committee to run for governor in 2010, two years before her term ends.
"I will be a candidate whether the election is in 2012 or any time before then," said Sharp, who made two unsuccessful runs for lieutenant governor. "Texans face tough challenges that call for innovative solutions, and that's what our campaign is all about."
Hutchison, whose Senate term expires in 2012, has said she may leave the Senate as early as next year to campaign. If that happens, Republican Gov. Rick Perry would appoint a replacement to the seat until a special election is held.
Other possible Democratic contenders for the seat are Houston Mayor Bill White; former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk, who lost a 2002 Senate bid to John Cornyn; state Sen. Leticia Van de Putte of San Antonio; state Rep. Richard Pena Raymond; and Dallas state Rep. Rafael Anchia.
On the GOP side, state Sen. Florence Shapiro is raising money for a possible run while former Texas Secretary of State Roger Williams, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and Michael Williams, the chairman of the Texas Railroad Commission are thought to be contenders.
Sharp, who was close friends with Perry when they were students at Texas A&M, was widely expected to oppose Perry in the 2006 gubernatorial election. But Perry appointed Sharp to lead the Texas Tax Reform Commission that ultimately wrote the state's new business tax.
As chair of the commission, Sharp was instrumental in crafting the new tax code that had befuddled state officials for decades. While the tax helped get the state out of court trouble that threatened to shut down public schools and cut property taxes by a third, the tax has been a disappointment to small business owners and has not generated the amount of revenue expected. The business tax is expected to be revised during the upcoming legislative session.
At the time the proposal was unveiled, Sharp called it the "the best, fairest, most broad-based, comprehensive system to reduce property taxes that I have ever seen in 20 years that I've been around this process."
Sharp started his political career as a state representative from Victoria. Four years later he became a state senator, serving on the Senate Finance Committee. He was elected to the Texas Railroad Commission in 1986. He was elected state comptroller in 1990 and was re-elected in 1994.
Caroline Kennedy interested in NY Senate seat

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081206/ap_on_el_se/kennedy_senate_seat
WASHINGTON -- Caroline Kennedy is interested in the Senate seat that would open once Hillary Rodham Clinton becomes secretary of state, according to a close relative who says the powerful Kennedy clan is fully behind her rising to the office previously held by her uncle. ...
Once Clinton is confirmed to President-elect Barack Obama's cabinet, New York Gov. David Paterson will appoint someone to fill the seat for two years. ...
Kennedy is the daughter of President John F. Kennedy and a niece of brothers Edward and Robert. Robert Kennedy held the New York seat from 1965 until his assassination in 1968. Edward Kennedy has been a senator from Massachusetts since 1963. ...
Whoever Paterson appoints would serve for two years and then have to run in a special election in 2010, along with Paterson and New York's senior senator, Charles Schumer. The candidate would then have to run again in 2012. ...
Caroline Kennedy is easily the most famous contender for Clinton's Senate seat, but there are plenty of others. New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is widely known in the state. Paterson could also pick Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown or Tom Suozzi, a Long Island elected official.
There are also a number of House members in the running, including Reps. Carolyn Maloney, Kirsten Gillibrand, Steve Israel, Brian Higgins, Nydia Velazquez and Jerrold Nadler.

Al Franken Camp Claims Four-Vote Lead in Recount
Brad Haynes reports on Senate races.
Washington Wire
Political Insight and Analysis From The Wall Street Journal’s Capital Bureau
December 5, 2008, 4:35 pm [EST]
http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/12/05/al-franken-camp-claims-four-vote-lead-in-recount
With the manual recount of Minnesota’s 2.9 million votes wrapping up, Democrat Al Franken‘s campaign claims to be ahead of Sen. Norm Coleman by just four votes.
In a tally on the secretary of state’s Web site, Coleman maintains his earlier lead of a few hundred votes, but that number doesn’t reflect the more than 6,500 ballots challenged by the campaigns, or the heavily Democratic precinct where an envelope of ballots has gone missing. Each of the campaigns has withdrawn more than 600 challenges, but the secretary of state’s tally remains contingent until the state canvassing board reviews the thousands of outstanding challenges later this month.
Meanwhile, the Franken camp has kept its own running count, assuming that local officials’ judgments on the challenged ballots will be upheld by the canvassing board. And by that method, they say, the Minnesota seat is leaning Democratic by a four-ballot margin. Of course, the campaign’s count also assumes that Minneapolis election officials recover or restore the votes from 133 missing ballots in a Democrat-heavy precinct, which would return a net 46 votes to Franken.

"A DEEPER SHADE of BLUE"
By
Brett Alexander Macarius Andreeivich Encelewski
They are like us; but they are not us.
They talk like us; but don’t say the same things.
They know similar people; but their people are more powerful.
They know the same TRADES; but they have different, better jobs.
They know the same craft; but they don’t know it as we do.
They work to play; we work to survive.
They clean-up nicely; we don’t.
They have a blue-collar; so do we, however:
It is a deeper shade of blue: saltier, grittier, earthy, and true.
Sometimes God-fearing,
Sometimes godless,
Sometimes enlightened,
Sometimes ignorant,
Sometimes grandiose,
Sometimes depressed,
Sometimes epic,
Sometimes tragic.
For millennia; civilization has risen and fallen at the compliance or rebellion of our meek and calloused hands. We may be your slaves; but you are just slaves of the WHITE COLLAR. A truly righteous and liberated man is he who has no servant; but serves and loves all mankind.
Who are we? Who are you? Our collar is cut lowest, a deeper shade of blue.

'IT DOES NOT CONCERN ME'
By Brett A. Encelewski
Children slowly die from starvation, in blistering hunger. Their bellies fill and expand with need. The eyes roll back into their infantile skulls in sunken misery. They bathe their chapped skin out of the same stagnant pool civilization has allotted them, and then quench their thirst with the same water. It does not concern me; I am an American.
Behemoths of death glide over the unforgiving surface of the gentle and delicate oceans. They send the carcasses of their steel kin to the bottom, to bleed their toxins into the gills of the children of the drink. They drag their screens of doom, raping the vitality of the deep blue sea. It does not concern me; I tend to the vitality of America.
A market place erupts into a macabre spray of fire, shredded produce, and the flesh of men, women and children. Religious patriots lob crudely constructed explosives into crowds. They reap the crimson glory for Allah, for Christ, and for Jesus. It does not concern me; I am a citizen of a great nation under God.
Whole countries bolster their economy on growing, producing, and manufacturing illicit substances. They aid international militants in their quests of terror. They slash down the great grandfather trees without an ounce of respect for their age, their function, or themselves. They fight, kill and die for primitive non-renewable resources. With great effort they smuggle their poisons through our borders. It does not concern me; I am an American consumer, and they can do what they want.
Men achieve great feats of martyrdom and bring down majestic mountains of steel and glass and gold. Brits lose lives, Japs lose lives, Frenchman lose lives. They all lose lives. Americans lose lives, and the streets of Babylon are filled with the dead. I am America, and I shall make the world pay the price, and cooperate with my vengeance lest they face my wrath.
When done, her hellfire spent, the beaten and weary citizens of a crumbled nation shall arise to see their crushed cities smoldering from the helping hand of America. It is a punishing hand, a disciplined hand. She shall feed them, and clothe them, and dictate their new government. Then the small men, the silent women, and the quivering children shall look up at the ominous figure of Lady Liberty and say “thank-you” to their great savior. They will have to rebuild the cities, and pick-up the dead, because America has done the hard part for them. But when the refugees come knocking at her door, she shall swat them like diseased flies, turn them away, and send them back to the dusty little hole that they came from. It does not concern me; I am an American, and that is the way it should be.

I was thinking to myself again about the classic hypocrasy and injustice of matters/issues regarding "ECONOMICS" and "SOCIO-POLITICAL ISSUES" when discriminating/ discerning PUBLIC or PRIVATE jurisdictions and/or the enforcement of the U.S. Constitutional Civil Liberties governing them.
Ergo:
Ultra-Liberals (in America more appropriately called "SOCIAL LIBERALS"/ aka the "Far Left" are the Ultimate Social and Political Hedonists. Wanting what they want, when they want it, how they want it; from whom they want it from; it what combination they want it in; as quickly and as conveniently as possible; with little or NO regard for current or past moral, cultural, or social tradition, norms, or morays. MAXIMUM liberties; MAXIMUM benefits; WELFARE-STATE; SOCIALIZED HEALTHCARE; any number of personal economic systems--socialized after that;
SOCIAL LIBERALS. "SOCIALISTS." They like to call themselves "Progressives," but THEY ARE, indeed, NOT.
PROGRESSIVES; are painstakingly disciplined; conservative or liberal (usually moderate) socioeconomic political producers. That's a fact; JACK.
NOW--SOCIAL LIBERALS say things like "Live and let live..." interestingly (in theory) the cry of the Libertarian or Classical Liberal. Only the Classical Liberal and the Libertarian MEANS IT.
...while a REPUBLICAN would say: "Live and let DIE..."
Classical Liberals et al. are MONDO-SERIOUS about CIVIL LIBERTIES, PRIVACY, etc.
NOW; here is the hypocracy; A group--take your GAY RIGHTS movement; marches down on the STATE and/or FEDERAL scene; thereby making themselves PUBLIC; attempting to affect sweeping PUBLIC change.
IN THE PROCESS--groups of them viciously interfere with their peaceful opposers RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH (in PUBLIC); and RIGHT TO ASSEMBLY; now if that protestor group was a formal group; they could be BROUGHT TO TRIAL...
NOW; again--as a political paradigm/school: SOCIAL LIBERALS; who are so big into "Live and Let Live" right?
Well then--why is it that the SOCIAL LEFT interferes (for many, many decades now) with SO MANY of our PRIVATE MATTERS?
A child's RIGHT to read a BIBLE in SCHOOL!?
A Blue Collar working-poor family's RIGHT to 100% of their PRIVATE BUSINESS earnings (INCOME); or EVEN;
A successful Upper-Middle-Class entrepenuer's RIGHT to 100% of his BUSINESS earnings?
"ALL DEBTS PUBLIC and PRIVATE"
WHAT CONSTITUTIONAL PRECENDANT and "RIGHT" DOES the SOCIALIST LEFT have to STEAL anyone's money? Even if it is EARMARKED for "SOCIALIST" programs. So tell me the distinction? How is it different.
It is the BIGGEST SCAM IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD! Most educated people (that acquiesce to paying SOCIAL SECURITY) know that 70-85% or more of it goes into pasting people's heads against the wall in the Middle East...).
The SOCIALIST, FACIST, LEFT--thinks it can get away with anything; taking prayer, and bibles from our schools; inserting facist Office of Child Safety agents into our lives to keep us from disciplining our children properly; While crack-heads rape their daughters across the street.
Tell our son's they cannot wear political or provoctive speech T-shirts; but allow girls to run around looking like WHORES. (interesting double-standard).
We may as well get rid of the white stripes on Old Glory and just put the Big Bird on there (emulated from the Roman Empire).
So SQUEAL about "Live and let live." But the SOCIALIST LEFT needs to STAY OUT OF OUR LIVES; LEAVE OUR CHILDREN; OUR PAYCHECKS; OUR STATES RIGHTS; etc, alone first. I am the LAST person to tread on YOU or your business... but YOU are ALL UP IN ON MINE.
But many people are not fooled--many people are not decieved by the reverse-psychology; the pity-call of the SOCIALIST.
If were going to do it--lets do it. Go big Red! Only thing is Alaska's Flag will stay blue; and Fly ALONE.
God preserve the Congress; and God preserve America.

Biden adviser to take Senate seat
By David R. Sands
Monday, November 24, 2008
http://washingtontimes.com/news/2008/nov/24/longtime-biden-adviser-take-senate-seat
Edward E. "Ted" Kaufman, longtime adviser and chief of staff for Vice President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr., will serve the first two years of Mr. Biden's Senate term as the Delaware Democrat moves to the White House.
Delaware's Democratic Gov. Ruth Ann Minner made her choice known at a press conference in Wilmington Monday, setting the table for a special election in 2010 in which Mr. Biden's son, Beau Biden, is the clear front-runner to claim his father's Senate seat.
Mr. Kaufman, a Wilmington-based political consultant and a lecturer at the Duke University School of Law, served as head of the senior Mr. Biden's vice presidential transition team and has long been one of his closest aides. From 1974 to 1993, he was Mr. Biden's Senate chief of staff.
Mr. Biden, the longest-serving senator in Delaware history, won a seventh six-year term Nov. 4 in addition to his election as vice president. But Mr. Kaufman said Monday he would not serve out the full term and would not run in the 2010 special election.

Someone had asked; or rather retorted; "What is AMERICA!" as if they didn't know... it was meant to be a rhetorical question, perhaps incredulous in nature. I say they did not fully understand themselves.
Our forefathers "crossed the ocean" to escape the tyranny of the English monarch, parliament, and the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England; which had a knack for having 'that affect' on people those days. Did this mean people 1)Believed; 2)Worshipped; 3)Intended to promulgate society in the name of the Lord any LESS?
Um, NO. Indeed; "ONE NATION, UNDER GOD." It becomes clear that the Anti-Christian Ultra-Liberal Coalition has become contented in their "belief" (and attempts to spread propaganda) that this statement in our Nation's ORGANIC DOCUMENTS is a "TRIVIAL NOVELTY" ....
"...inapplicable, and irrelavent to any State and/or Federal law in the land..."
WRONG.
Acts/ Policies/ Legislation like the ever-vaunted: SEPERATION of CHURCH and STATE; were FAVORED by the ever-PIOUS founders of our nation; to simply prevent over-zealous, radical THEOCRATS from overrunning our State and/or Federal Government(s); becuase especially in the matter of, say, the Roman Catholic Church--they are an Organization almost like a government unto themselves; and the POWER would be too terrible to comprehend.
This goes back to the case of THOMAS BECKETT, Arch-Bishop of Canturbury in England; while Beckett himself was not himself the problem; the situation he was put into BY THE KING (Henry II) and the CHURCH--was. I rest my case there.
The Founding Fathers knew this INTIMATELY while hammering the ORGANIC DOCUMENTS on the ANVIL of U.S. FREEDOM.
"What is America?" America is the IV Rome. The III Rome was Imperial Christian Russian Empire ("Tsar" was a Ruso-Greco-Roman derivitive of Caesar).
The Founding Fathers were scholars, scientists, soldiers, patriots, and mostly VERY PIOUS men.
There work on the ORGANIC DOCUMENTS of this country was based on their contributions to the works and texts; standing on the shoulders of TRUE INTELLECTUAL giants; dating back mellenia. Much of the ideology, philosophy-theology, principles, ethics, and constitutional draft; as well as the BILL of RIGHTS was based on: the French Revolution, English Civil War; European Enlightenment/ Renassaince; which all in turn hails back to the work and innovations of the Roman Empire and Hellenistic and Classical Greece.
Our BILL of RIGHTS is simply a clean re-draft of the ENGLISH Bill of Rights; facilitated after the English Civil War; thanks to the British 'ole Blood & Guts; Oliver Cromwell, Lord High Protector of England (PATTON; unleashed, uncut, and totally "proper"?)
SO; in sum, indeed--"What is America?" AMERICA is the IV ROME. Yes, the Fourth Great Roman Empire. To recap: Roman Empire of Italy; Holy Roman Empire (Constantinople); Tsarist Empire of Russia (Orthodoxy); and the United States of America.
Pax Roma and the U.S. the Irst and IInd "Romes" are great cultural and military, political, and economic powers dominating all the world; the IInd and IIrd "Romes" were the greatest Christian empires ever known to the world; RUSSIA suffered a great period of persecution and darkness during the SOVIET/ COMMUNIST athiest era; but held on; and is rebound healthily. Their President is THE FIRST ORTHODOX RULER since TSAR NICHOLAS II was executed in the October Revolution.
IN AMERICA; We believe in Christianity; it is ENCODED and LOCKED IN to our ORGANIC DOCUMENTS; but like the FIRST ROME; our EMPIRE entertains all types and "creeds" every household may have a different shrine; as is there right. Different Cities may erect larger community monuments and chapels/ temples as they see fit. It is SO REMARKABLY LIKE ANCIENT ROME; the parallels are frightening/ but they can be ENCOURAGING--if we reign in the positive elements...
And doggedly QUASH and DESTROY what is ROTTING this country to the core.
Senatus Populusque Romanus [(S.P.Q.R.) "The Senate and the People of Rome" or "The Senate and Roman People"), referring to the government of the ancient Roman Republic, and used as an official signature of the government.
That was what unified Ancient Rome; and this is what I propose:
Congressus Populusque Americanus [(C.P.Q.A.) "The Congress and the People of America"], I hereby propose; for UNITY in civil, municipal, State, and Federal sectors of the United States; our official signature of the Republic.
We must ALL become more involved. The People; their Representatives must work closer together. The People must work for the Government; and the Government must work for the People; and it is the job of the U.S. Congress (the Senate; and the House) to see that this happens.
If the People cannot work with the Government; and the Government cannot work with the People--then in the NAME of CHRIST; the Government shall be destroyed.
That is why we have our Bill of Rights--that is the original purpose of the 2nd Amendment; have no illusions.
Our forefathers "crossed the ocean" to escape the tyranny of the English monarch, parliament, and the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England; which had a knack for having 'that affect' on people those days. Did this mean people 1)Believed; 2)Worshipped; 3)Intended to promulgate society in the name of the Lord any LESS?
Um, NO. Indeed; "ONE NATION, UNDER GOD." It becomes clear that the Anti-Christian Ultra-Liberal Coalition has become contented in their "belief" (and attempts to spread propaganda) that this statement in our Nation's ORGANIC DOCUMENTS is a "TRIVIAL NOVELTY" ....
"...inapplicable, and irrelavent to any State and/or Federal law in the land..."
WRONG.
Acts/ Policies/ Legislation like the ever-vaunted: SEPERATION of CHURCH and STATE; were FAVORED by the ever-PIOUS founders of our nation; to simply prevent over-zealous, radical THEOCRATS from overrunning our State and/or Federal Government(s); becuase especially in the matter of, say, the Roman Catholic Church--they are an Organization almost like a government unto themselves; and the POWER would be too terrible to comprehend.
This goes back to the case of THOMAS BECKETT, Arch-Bishop of Canturbury in England; while Beckett himself was not himself the problem; the situation he was put into BY THE KING (Henry II) and the CHURCH--was. I rest my case there.
The Founding Fathers knew this INTIMATELY while hammering the ORGANIC DOCUMENTS on the ANVIL of U.S. FREEDOM.
"What is America?" America is the IV Rome. The III Rome was Imperial Christian Russian Empire ("Tsar" was a Ruso-Greco-Roman derivitive of Caesar).
The Founding Fathers were scholars, scientists, soldiers, patriots, and mostly VERY PIOUS men.
There work on the ORGANIC DOCUMENTS of this country was based on their contributions to the works and texts; standing on the shoulders of TRUE INTELLECTUAL giants; dating back mellenia. Much of the ideology, philosophy-theology, principles, ethics, and constitutional draft; as well as the BILL of RIGHTS was based on: the French Revolution, English Civil War; European Enlightenment/ Renassaince; which all in turn hails back to the work and innovations of the Roman Empire and Hellenistic and Classical Greece.
Our BILL of RIGHTS is simply a clean re-draft of the ENGLISH Bill of Rights; facilitated after the English Civil War; thanks to the British 'ole Blood & Guts; Oliver Cromwell, Lord High Protector of England (PATTON; unleashed, uncut, and totally "proper"?)
SO; in sum, indeed--"What is America?" AMERICA is the IV ROME. Yes, the Fourth Great Roman Empire. To recap: Roman Empire of Italy; Holy Roman Empire (Constantinople); Tsarist Empire of Russia (Orthodoxy); and the United States of America.
Pax Roma and the U.S. the Irst and IInd "Romes" are great cultural and military, political, and economic powers dominating all the world; the IInd and IIrd "Romes" were the greatest Christian empires ever known to the world; RUSSIA suffered a great period of persecution and darkness during the SOVIET/ COMMUNIST athiest era; but held on; and is rebound healthily. Their President is THE FIRST ORTHODOX RULER since TSAR NICHOLAS II was executed in the October Revolution.
IN AMERICA; We believe in Christianity; it is ENCODED and LOCKED IN to our ORGANIC DOCUMENTS; but like the FIRST ROME; our EMPIRE entertains all types and "creeds" every household may have a different shrine; as is there right. Different Cities may erect larger community monuments and chapels/ temples as they see fit. It is SO REMARKABLY LIKE ANCIENT ROME; the parallels are frightening/ but they can be ENCOURAGING--if we reign in the positive elements...
And doggedly QUASH and DESTROY what is ROTTING this country to the core.
Senatus Populusque Romanus [(S.P.Q.R.) "The Senate and the People of Rome" or "The Senate and Roman People"), referring to the government of the ancient Roman Republic, and used as an official signature of the government.

Begich's lead grows to 814 votes
by Jason Moore
Wednesday, November 12, 2008
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- The race for U.S. Senate took a dramatic turn Wednesday as the Division of Elections began counting early and absentee ballots.
After nearly 59,000 of the more than 90,000 outstanding votes were tallied, Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich pulled into a lead of just 814 votes over Sen. Ted Stevens.
Throughout the day, each update from the DOE drew Begich closer, until around 3:30 p.m. his 3,200-vote deficit became a three-vote lead.
By the time they stopped counting votes for the day, Begich's lead stood at 814 votes out of more than 278,000 tallied so far. Potentially tens of throusands of ballots are left to be counted.
Begich has 132,196 votes (47.41 percent) and Stevens has 131,382 votes (47.12 percent).
As the counting progressed it became clear Begich had the advantage in the early votes. No one knew how the absentees would break. By day's end, even the those, generally considered a Republican strongpoint, appeared to favor Begich.
"We had a strong drive to get people to vote early absentee, to get these votes in," Bethany Lesser of the Alaska Democratic Party said. "And I think that under this circumstance it's really hard to just say, ‘Well, usually in most election years they go one way.' This isn't most election years.
Republican candidate for the Sand Lake House seat Bob Lewis didn't like the early results in his district. Bob Buch extended his lead.
"It's a little steeper hill, but you just have to hang on and hope for the best," Lewis said.
Muldoon Republican Bob Roses, who trailed after Election Day, also fell further behind.
But most eyes were on the Senate race. At Begich's campaign headquarters, workers hovered over computers crunching numbers and enjoying the trend.
At Stevens' headquarters the doors were locked -- no one was around.
The DOE is expected to do another count this week. But absentee ballots mailed internationally still have until next Wednesday to arrive, so a final count won't be available until a week from today.

Sen. Stevens (7) Felony convictions DIDN'T help him at all; and DID help us; but not like you would think... Steven's loyalists were true-to-form for the most part (disqusting to see); but we never hinged on this.
Both the Alaskan Republican Party and the Stevens campaign aknowledge Begich as the straight-up toughest opponent he has EVER faced;
Alaska in general aknowleges the QUALITY and CAPABILY of the man [Begich]; and rarely in polics will you see such an amazing race--such a true exercise in Democracy; such a HARD CHOICE.
And ever as a cradle-to-grave Alaskan Democrat; I too must tip my hat to the great "Uncle Ted" for doesn't every family have one? A piller so established and legendary; that even with all his flaws, it is so hard to see him dishonored?
TED STEVENS is a undeniable piece of Alaska. That is history; but now--so is HE.

As it stands; all being equal; I will put all my chips and the farm on MARK BEGICH boys and girls. WE HAVE WON! Over this campaign, which "was always going to be close," as Mark himself says, the Alaska Democratic Party and 'Alaskans for Begich' deliberately pushed an Advance/ Absentee; and Early Vote strategem for the Democratic; Nonpartisan; and Swing-voters of DECISION-2008, ALASKA.
We have succeed. In just the FIRST DAY of counting; merely the absentee votes (which are ALWAYS severely biased to Republican advantage; because of the military demographic); Mark Begich, who was some 3,200 votes behind Ted Stevens... picked up 3,200+.... +3! To lead Sen. Ted Stevens; (according to a 'Breaking News' report released by KTUU News; based on the lastest press release from the Alaska Division of Elections).
There is still some 60,000+ EARLY VOTES to be counted. 'Early voting' has never been popular in Alaska. This year was a all-time record-smashing turn-out for Early Vote. This is unequivocally due to the Alaska Democratic Party. The Party is hoping for a 60-75% return on 'their investment' (or higher) in the Early vote count-out and report. (This of course conversationally speaking).
By the grace and glory of God, the Holy Mother, and all the Saints; we will have deliverance in this great State.
There is also still a reasonable chance for Democrat House challenger Ethan Berkowitz to take Don Young; if the numbers are as remarkable as Alaskan Democrats hope, dream, and pray them to be.
Even more MIRACULOUS; would be if President-elect Barack Obama retro-actively WINS Alaska's electoral votes; turning a RED-STATE to BLUE, that has not done so since JOHNSON.
This is the scope of the the DEMOCRATIC DREAM in Alaska. At the VERY LEAST we WILL HAVE the Senate; but so much more IS IN the realm of possibility... anything is possible; when people CHANGE their minds.
And the FRESH INSPIRED minds of ALASKAN, and AMERICAN DREAMERS, stand-up to be counted.
God bless Democracy, God bless, the President-elect, God bless Alaska, and God bless the United States of America;
Yours, ever in service,
