Its now official, with a bigger lead then votes left to count, Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich is now JR Senator for Alaska in the United States Senate.

Begich will now have to Go Along To Get Along in the Senate, maybe if he votes "present" enough he can be the next president.

ETA: Now, do to seniority, some other AH will controll Ted's committee seat.

Do we really want people controlling appriation spending based on how long they have been able to stay in office, over their merits and ideals?
