For a while I was so caught up in how stupid it would be for Alaskans to elect convicted felon Ted Stevens that I didn’t keep up on what this could have meant for Sarah Palin.  As I discussed in an earlier article, a win by Ted Stevens could have resulted in a special election after his getting kicked to the curb ousted by other party members.  Assuming that Alaskans were voting their ticket, the Republican Sarah Palin (with her fancy clothes) could very easily have assumed Ted Stevens seat in the senate.  What a nightmare that could have been.

Fortunately for Alaska – and probably America as a whole – Ted Stevens didn’t win his bid for re-election and Sarah Palin has lost her chance to get anywhere near the Senate this term.  Sure, that could change in the future, or if you believe in wild possibilities she could be running for President in 2012, but at this point I am hopeful that her 15 minutes of fame have passed and she’ll quietly fade into oblivion.  Heck, maybe she’ll leave her husband and run off with Joe the Plumber.  How many kids would that give them?
