Bold prediction from Daniel Inouye on the Alaska senate race.
This is rather inexplicable to me. I know the Senate is a chummy club, but as Barack says, "Come on!"
Politico is reporting tonight that Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii is predicting that Ted Stevens will not only be reelected on Tuesday but will be fully exonerated (because he did nothing wrong apparently in the view of the good Senator from the Aloha State). The story mentions that the two Senators, both in their 80s, are "old chums."
Hawaii’s Daniel K. Inouye, a Democrat, in a statement issued by the campaign of Alaska’s Ted Stevens, a Republican and longtime friend, answers criticism from Stevens’ Democratic opponent and predicts Stevens will win reelection Tuesday and later be exonerated on an appeal of last week’s verdict finding him guilty of hiding gifts.
Thanks to Senator Inouye for undercutting the fine Democrat we have running against Stevens.
