Could The Democrats Still Win Alaska?

One of Tuesday's biggest surprises came from Alaska. Rep. Don Young (R) and Sen. Ted Stevens (R) had been left for dead before election night. All the polls showed the unpopular and blatantly corrupt duo being defeated. Then, the results came in. It was close but both led throughout the night. Though the race still hasn't officially been called it has become apparent that Young has been reelected. Stevens' on the other hand, may not have had the win that most (including me) thought. Stevens currently holds a 3,300 vote advantage over Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich (D). Politicalwire is reporting, however, that there are enough absentee ballots, and enough of those ballots could conceivably be votes for Begich, that Stevens may still lose. It seems doubtful, however, and Stevens is likely the winner, but there is a glimmer of hope that Stevens, one of the worst examples of everything that is bad about politicians, will still go down.
