This press release from the Alaska Republican Party, via ThinkProgress, is truly sad:
The Alaska Republican Party further believes that current Senator Mark Begich should resign his position to allow for a new, special election, so Alaskans may have the chance to vote for a Senator without the improper influence of the corrupt Department of Justice.
The only reason Mark Begich won the election in November is because a few thousand Alaskans thought that Senator Ted Stevens was guilty of seven felonies.
First of all, the Department of Justice’s decision doesn’t exonerate Stevens. Second, couldn’t Democrats say the same thing in Minnesota?
Right before election day, Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) was implicated in complicated case that involved a donor funnelling money to Coleman’s wife. Coleman brushed off the case and accused Al Franken of attacking his family, but given what we’ve learned since then, are there are a few thousand voters who regret not knowing more and supporting Coleman?
Third, is the Alaska GOP going to say anything about Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska)’s pre-election call for Stevens to resign from the Senate?

I believe the timing of the accusation unduly influenced the election. There should be no concern for holding a new vote. If there was no influence… the outcome will be the same.

Yes he should resign. The use of government power was used to get him in. This is why crooks love government:

I think they (the republican's) are all crooks! Steven's is guilty, Coleman's wife is guilty! Col;man is a total disgrace to Minnesota and does not know what he is doing and had done to his family, friends etc. Coleman's only concern in the senatorial election is his selfish, self-absorbed self. He DOES NOT care about the Minnesota people and is wasting their precious money and time. Minnesota needs to seat Senator Al Franken immediately!!!!!! Isn't it like a republican to drag things out for their own self-centered gratification????? Coleman lost, Steven's lost! End of story!!!!!!
