Well, the headline here won’t literally be true until next January, but we now know that (as Red Wind mentioned earlier today) Mark Begich has defeated Ted Stevens and will be Alaska’s newest senator.(*) Hey, maybe he can pick up Joe Lieberman’s tragically lost subcommittee chairmanship.
This is a pretty dramatic and historic win, to say the least.(*) Alaska hasn’t had a Democratic United States Senator since Mike Gravel in 1980.(*) It also keeps the dream of 60 alive for the Democratic majority–counting Bernie Sanders of VT and Lieberman, the Democratic Senate caucus now numbers 58, with Georgia and Minnesota’s races still undecided.(*) Congratulations Senator-elect Begich!
