Summary
Senator Tod Stevens who was convicted of 7 corruption counts believes that the verdict was a disappointment but isn't suprised due to the prosecutional misconduct used in the case. Stevens says that he will fight this with all of his energy. Stevens later says that he is inncocent and only pleaded guilty due to the misconducted of the trial. Stevens says to the public that he is coming home and he asks for your vote.
Opinion
I agree with Marvin Wensman on this issue. I also believe that this issue will cost Stevens his reelection and his campaign will also be shattered. It already has been a difficult race against the democratic canidate Mark Begich. He was being projected to win and now with this issue at hand, i believe strongly that Begich will win in a huge margin. I also agree with Marvin that this isn't a huge deal given the issues of our economy at hand right now. The press needs to stop trying to find negatives but thats going to happen no matter what. Our economic situation is far more important than this issue.
