I checked out ljs’s links, and I thought I’d add the brief summary to the discussion. There’s still a Senate race to count votes on, before any of this is relevant. From the Rachel Maddow link:
Here’s a brief recap: incumbent GOP Senator Ted Stevens, who’s been convicted of 7 felonies, is ahead by 3,000 votes though there are 90,000 votes yet to be counted. If Stevens were to win, he would be forced to step down, and many speculate that Palin would either appoint herself to the vacant seat or run in a special election. So what does the Governor have to say about this hullabaloo? “The Alaskan voters have spoken and me not being a dictator won’t be tellin’ anybody what to do. A Governor, especially one that’s not gonna be a dictator and all this, doesn’t have control over that.”
