JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Republican Dan Sullivan won Alaska's U.S. Senate race, defeating first-term incumbent Democrat Mark Begich.
Sullivan led Begich by about 8,100 votes on Election Night last week and held a comparable edge after election workers had counted about 20,000 absentee, early-voted and questioned ballots late Tuesday. Thousands more ballots remained to be counted, but the results indicated that Begich could not overcome Sullivan's lead.
The Alaska seat was initially considered key to the Republicans' hopes of taking control of the U.S. Senate, but that goal was accomplished before the Alaska race was decided.
Sullivan, in a statement, said he was humbled and sounded a note of inclusion. While it was a hard-fought race, moving forward "I want to emphasize that my door will always be open to all Alaskans," he said.
"While we have challenges to address, the opportunities in Alaska and our country are limitless," Sullivan said. "Today, we are going to begin the process of turning our country around and building a brighter future for our children."
Begich was not conceding. His campaign manager, Susanne Fleek-Green, said in a statement that Begich believes every vote deserves to be counted and will follow the Division of Elections as it continues toward a final count.
And the Dums excuses will still be lighting up the message board!!!
Another Dim bites the dust.

Elections have consequences. Now we have to hold the Republicans feet to the fire and not let them "John McCain" the Party by "reaching across the isle" to pass "bipartisan Legislation" that continues the screw job that America's been getting.

Landrieu should consider making plans to clean out her office.
Let me guess what the liberal response will be. It's inconsequential. obama will save us. The Republicans will try to make the 1%ers even richer. And re-institute slavery. Outlaw homosexuality. And eat your babies.
She should. If Cassidy gets a portion of the votes the other Republican on` the ballot got, he will win. If he gets most of them he wins by a landslide.winning.

I read today that the Republicans have promised Landrieu's Republican opponent a slot on the energy committee when they take over the majority in January. One of Landrieu's biggest talking point is convincing the voters in Louisiana that they would lose a voice she has on that committee.
I think she is toast in the December runoff.
