Hi Everybody! http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/02/us/politics/02stevens.html?ref=us
The application to throw out the conviction of Mr. Stevens will almost certainly be ratified by the court at a hearing scheduled for next Tuesday. But it will do nothing to undo the loss of his Senate seat. Within days of the verdict, Mr. Stevens lost his re-election bid by fewer than 4,000 votes, less than 2 percent of votes cast. Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, said that without the guilty verdict, Mr. Stevens would have been re-elected, giving the 41 Republicans an additional vote and voice in the Senate. If the charges had been thrown out before the election, Mr. McConnell said in an interview, “Ted Stevens would still be in the Senate.” -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
