Wow. When I read about the drama with the jury, I thought for sure we were headed for a mis-trial. I guess evidence that damning has a way of rising above any distractions.
Don't count on Ted losing the election. Alaska is so red it's practically Texas. There are plenty of voters there who would rather cast a vote for a Republican Satan than a Democratic Jesus.
And yes, then the Senate will vote to throw Ted out, and Palin will appoint herself as Senator and show up for the first session in her mom jeans. And she will be the dumbest Senator since Huckleberry Graham.
Alaska will hold a special election to select a replacement. I believe hey changed the laws after Gov Murkowski appointed daughter Lisa to an empty senate seat.

The GOP, the political party equivalent of Carl Lewis' national anthem attempt (esp. at 00:19).

But what if he doesn't lose? On Nov 5th could we be looking at a Senator Palin? Does the Alaskan constitution allow that?

YES.
61 seats here we come.

We should all take a moment to play some music in celebration.

Palin in the Senate could really help her '12 primary chances.
