Stevens Loses, 2 to go for 60 dems

Ted Stevens has lost his re-election bid.  This corrupt guy who has been the Godfather of the Alaskan Republican party, is now just a convicted felon.

What this means is that if the Democratic challengers for the senate seats in MN and GA win their recount and runoff, respectively, the Dems will have a filibuster proof majority.  Which may actually be a good thing with what's on the table: climate change, universal healthcare, and getting out of Iraq to give three examples.
