Mark Begich wins senate race.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Sen. Ted Stevens, the longest serving Republican in Senate history, narrowly lost his re-election bid Tuesday, marking the downfall of a Washington political power and Alaska icon who couldn't survive a conviction on federal corruption charges. His defeat by Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich moves Senate Democrats within two seats of a filibuster-proof 60-vote majority.

now all eyes go to the count (and state-mandated recount) of the senate race in Minnesota between Norm Coleman and Al Franken.

And then, I'll be voting on Dec. 2 for the last undecided senate seat- Saxby Chambliss vs. Jim Martin.
