Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK) has been found guilty on all 7 counts he was facing. Basically what this means is his Senate seat which up until now has been a nailbiter might finally start heading in the direction of the Democrats. Really his biggest hope, that of being acquitted before the election has now gone crashing down in flames.
This means that the Democrats have a better chance of getting to the magical 60 (I'd actually like to see them get to 61 so they can give Joe Lieberman the boot) seats they'd need in the Senate to keep the Republicans from filibustering every single piece of progressive legislation they try to put forward.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
