CaptainPatent's Journal: Alaska nominates Begict over Ted "tubes" Stevens

Ted Stevens, the now notorious Alaska governor known to the Slashdot community for his "series of tubes" comments regarding the inner-workings of the internet and more recently for his being found guilty of 7 counts of fraud, fell victim to a narrow defeat by Mark Begich.

This is the first time since the early 80's that an Alaskan senate seat has been filled by a democrat.
