The man is a politician convicted on 7 counts of corruption. I know he is old and its really tough to think of your elders as being bad in any way but he is corrupt. He violated the trust placed in him by the voters of Alaska. That the Senate can stand around and applaud corruption is just shocking and shameful.
After the sad display by dems yesterday when they welcomed Joe Lieberman back into their club we get some good news. It appears that being a convicted felon does hurt your reelection chances. Ted Stevens lost in Alaska. this really is good news for everyone as the republicans dont have to deal with being officially branded the party of convicted felons, the dems dont have to cave to Ted on anything, and the people of alaska are less of a national joke. Not to mention we get another Dem in the Senate meaning were that much closer to seeing actual liberal or just non conservative policies enacted in this country. Congrats to Mark Begich.

If that happens, of course I’ll do what’s right for Alaska and for the Senate. ... I don’t anticipate it happening, and until it happens I do not have a black mark.”
Stevens reiterated that position during a televised debate late Thursday night, declaring early in the give-and-take with Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich, “I have not been convicted of anything.”
CNN reporting that Sen. Ted Stevens has been found guilty on all seven counts of making false statements on his financial disclosure forms.
