Ted Stevens loses his Senate seat, Begich Wins Alaska!

In a stunning turn of events, word out of Alaska this evening puts Democrat Mark Begich enough ahead of current Alaska Republican Senator Ted Stevens that there is no way Stevens could overcome the deficit.

This Senate win puts the Democrats only 2 seats away from a 60-seat filibuster proof majority in the Senate.

Franken now behind by only 206 votes

The recount hasn't even begun yet in Minnesota's Senate election, and the numbers are shifting again in Al Franken's favor.

Norm Coleman was thought to be in the lead by over 700 votes after Tuesday's election, but a review of ballots and corrections of human typographical errors has cut that lead down to only 206 votes as of 2:30 Monday afternoon. The race qualifies for an automatic recount because it falls within the state's margin of error rule.

Coleman lead over Franken shrinks yet again; only 221 vote difference

According to the web site for Minnesota's Secretary of State, the difference between Republican Norm Coleman and Democrat Al Franken in the race for Senate has shrunk once again this Friday evening.

Earlier in the day it had been widely reported that "a clerical error" was responsible for eliminating 100 votes for Barack Obama and Al Franken, bringing the ballot count to a mere 238 vote difference, down from the initial 740 or so votes . It now appears that there has been some more discrepancies unveiled and the total amount of votes separating the two candidates for Senate is only 221.

Obama on special SNL Monday night election eve edition?

Could Barack Obama make an appearance on SNL this Monday night, election day eve? The commercial states that "You never know who might show up", and it would make sense due to Obama not having been on SNL other than during the primaries.

Palin's medical records a "no show"

With 3 days to the election, all of the candidates have released their medical records, except one - Sarah Palin.

After telling the press last Sunday that Palin's medical records would be released early in the week, the McCain campaign has yet to produce them. When asked about it by several news organizations, the campaign responds by saying they have "No comment". This leaves one to wonder what exactly was uncovered when the McCain campaign finally decided to look into her records - something that should have been completed when she was being considered for the VP slot.

The American people deserve to know whether or not Sarah Palin's health is in good standing. Palin told NBC's Brian Williams on October 22nd that we would see in the medical records that she was healthy, "if they're released." Why not let us see for ourselves?

If there's nothing to hide, being upfront and forthcoming with the American public should not be a problem for the McCain campaign, but apparently, it is.
