http://donklephant.com

The Alaska Senate Race Is Over?

http://donklephant.com

At least according to a leading GOP pollster in Alaska…
“I don’t think Stevens can come back,” [GOP pollster David] Dittman said, noting that he thinks the remaining trove of uncounted ballots will help Begich “increase his lead.”
