4. Nate Silver just told Tweety that Stevens was "finished"

He seems to think Alaska is a done deal. Works for me. No more Ted, and no possibile Senator Moosealini. :)

5. At least not yet on the Moosealini...

There's always Lisa Murkowski's seat in 2010. Barbie may be thinkin', "I took out one Murkowski, I'm ready for another one."

Hopefully, Alaskans will have had enough of her by then though.
