Martin and Begich update: the Lazarus edition
On election night, many thought that the filibuster-proof Democratic majority was dead. But it would seem we’ve got our own special Lazarus-thing going on in Georgia and Alaska. The reports of the 60 vote majority being dead are apparently greatly exaggerated.
The Georgia race between Democrat Jim Martin and Saxby Chambliss (R-still a douchebag) continues to steamroll toward its December 2 runoff. Chambliss’ latest in a long line of idiotic chatter stems from a radio interview conducted yesterday. Chambliss told WGAU in Athens that we can “trust” the “folks in the financial community” with the big pile of bailout cash.
Cuz they did such a great job in the first place, right Saxby? Jeez.
The Alaska race between Democrat Mark Begich and Ted Stevens (R-still a convicted felon) is getting bluer by the day. The Anchorage Daily News reports that the vote tally now favors Begich:
more than half the absentee and questioned ballots still to be counted in alaska’s u.s. senate race come from areas of the state that backed democrat mark begich on election day.
That’s not a good sign for Republican Sen. Ted Stevens as he seeks to overcome Begich’s 814-vote lead when counting resumes today of just over 41,000 remaining ballots. A Daily News analysis, based on data provided by the state Division of Elections, shows that 56 percent of those ballots come from districts that favored Begich on Nov. 4.
This turn of events appears to even have Stevens’ pollster on the ropes:
alaska-based gop pollster david dittman, who worked for sen. ted stevens during this year’s primary race, believes democratic challenger mark begich is all but certain to expand his current razor-thin man and snatch the seat.
“I don’t think Stevens can come back,” Dittman said, noting that he thinks the remaining trove of uncounted ballots will help Begich “increase his lead.”
Dittman also said that he doesn’t believe Stevens will concede until every last vote is counted, even if Begich’s lead continues to grow.
