George's Bottom Line

The distribution in the Senate would be
Dems 58
Repubs 42

Do you think Joe Liberman will caucas with the Dems?

Joe Liberman is finished as a democrat.

Well, George, aren't you happy? You are one of the most biased people I have ever watched. We knew how liberal you were but when ABC took their liberalism on the air, we, and I do mean we, are not watching ABC anymore.
Now, that does not matter to you and we don't care who wins the election, but fair is fair and ABC is no longer fair.

Everyone needs to stop talking about 60 as a magic number. With Lieberman in there, the magic number is 61. And the odds of 61 happening are slim and none. Then end tally will be between 55 and 58.

McCain has no room to talk after the disgusting way he's run his campaign. I was willing to give him a serious look before he brought Palin onboard, but if he can't even manage his own campaign he has no credibility for attempting to manage the country. He and Palin looked like Hitler firing up Nazi youth in their hate mongering from the stage, playing on fears of the evangelicals, and thinly veiled racism. Both McCain and Palin should be off the national stage, not telling others like corrupt Senator Stevens what to do. McCain simply has no remaining moral credible authority to sit in judgment of anyone after what he's behaved.

Why would any side of the aisle want a crook in the senate? Sen. Stevens needs to go.

Party doesn't matter. ANYONE in Congress convicted of crimes like Mr. Stevens was should resign. That goes for both parties.

McCain is quick to kick a fallen friend as Sen. Ted Stevens for being found quilty, but he backs Palin who has been found quilty of abusing the power in the same Alaska.
Typical political hypocrisy if you asked me.

Another rush to a statement and erratic grandstand by McCain in a feeble attempt to show leadership.

Where is Obama on this? Still smoking crack as he did for 10 years in high school, college and grad school? He admits to it in his book. How come he is not subject to a drug test as most Aemricans are when they apply for a job?NO . . . he is the Messiah and above a drug test or any background test. Stupid liberals!

So what the h-e-l-l are you doing on ABC's website????????

naw, naw mccain. say it ain't so! how can you call on stevens to step down when palin was found guilty of abusing her power as governor in troopergate and you did nothing. the investigation into troopergate was by a bipartisan legislative group that found palin guilty. so, mccain, how come you didn't ask palin to resign from the ticket? both stevens and palin are in the bucket labeled corruption. makes no sense mccain to throw stevens under the bus but not your beloved running mate. palin stonewalled, ignored subpoenas, lied and she still believes she did nothing wrong. oh mccain, how low can you go? apparently, lower and lower. too bad, so sad. you were on many peoples pedestal but not anymore.

Good try. Kick a fallen friend for pure political gain. So he can argue that the Dem would control the Senate and that's why people have to vote for him as Prez. Senator, only somebody with mental problems would vote for you instead of Obama. Look, you are like an old car with 200K + miles. Who would buy that when they can buy a brand new car with all the latest features?

And meanwhile, Palin doesn't call for his resignation. . .but then, she pals around with convicted felons.

The Alaska Democratic Party also issued a statement calling for Stevens to resign, which is not a surprise. If Stevens wins the election and then resigns, do we end up with a Senator Palin by self appointment.

Well duh. He was conficted, so how could anyone want to have a guy like that? It's obvious to the anyone that he has to go, even if it means loosing a Senate seat to the Democrats. After this, I really can't see how anyone in Alaska would vote for this guy.

JAnice - Kitty raises and excellant point. Go blog on Fox or something and leave those of us who still trust ABC, CNN etal to ourselves. I read several sites and try to keep things in perspective about the journalists. They are people too.

This is of course, nothing more than Politics As Usual..

-McCain does this to try to look like he fights corruption and is the reformer/clean up man.
-Obama couldn't do it as it would have looked like he was trying to get a Republican out of the Senate to further Democratic control...

Smart move on McCain and Obama's behalf.

Now, if only McCain would call on Gov. Palin to step down since she as well as her Alaskan counterpart Stevens, is guilty of ethics violations!

I agree Sen. Stevens needs to quit, or the people of Alaska just need to vote him out. I'm for voting out the rest of the incumbents too. Abuse of power seems to come to easily for these guys and they don't seem to be doing a great job of running this country, republican or democrats. I voted early and voted against all the incumbents from my home state of Kentucky, no matter what their party affliliation was. (I never vote a straight party line). I'm for a government of check and balances.

Palin....are u going to be mavericky and go against McCain in asking Stevens to step down?
she needs to make a clear statement

I don't like monopoly either

All corrupt politicians should be removed from office. I find it rather disgusting that Democrats never hold their peers accountable.

bhciapol: If Stevens win again and force to resign, Alaska have to hold a special election to determine Steven's replacement. Palin (if she looses the election) can't take over the slot according to Alaska law nor can Steven choose his replacement.
