Democrat may win Alaskan Senate seat

The Alaskan Senate seat has been in limbo for a week, as Alaska proceeds with its interminable process, but they have finally begun counting the remaining votes, and there are indications that the result is not good for Stevens. Apparently, early votes may be breaking significantly more Democratic than election day votes.

If so, and if the election day results hold up in the Minnesota recount and Georgia runoff, Michael Barone’s prediction will turn out to have been perfect. Power Line has been following Minnesota’s process.

UPDATE: Sure enough, Begich is now in the lead, and with the remaining votes seeming to break for him, one has to assume that he will win the seat.
