Well, it looks like Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) may not make it back to the Senate after all. While things looked good after the election, the AP has now called the race for his Democratic opponent Mark Begich.

Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) was found guilty this afternoon of felony charges for making false statements.

After 12 days of listening to recorded wire taps, reading emails, and arguments alleging Stevens received illegal gifts from VECO, the prosecution arguing corruption charges against Sen. Ted Stevens has rested and the trial now goes to the defense.

It's been awhile since we chatted about Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) but he's been keeping busy what with standing trial for allegedly lying about the value of the gifts and home remodeling services he got from Veco Corp., an oil services company known mostly for bribing Alaskan lawmakers.

Sen. Ted Stevens has started a legal defense fund to help pay for his trial on corruption charges. This means that anyone (aside from lobbyists) can donate up to $10,000 in an effort keep Sen. Stevens out of jail, but won't have to report out on these donors until after the election.

Public Campaign Action Fund's Campaign Money Watch has released a new television ad about Stevens' campaign contributions from the pharmaceutical industry and how he carries water for them in the Senate.
