Stevens, etc.

McCain called for a Stevens' step down, as did Palin. I do too, or at least a forfeit of his reelection bid, but Palin hesitates at first:

"Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the GOP vice presidential nominee, did not call on Stevens to resign but added in a statement: 'I'm confident Sen. Stevens will do what's right for the people of Alaska.'"

On another note, former Sen. Alan Simpson seems to think Stevens is a 'victim of his generation. Oh, please. It was illegal then, and is now. It happened more then, positive progress has moved us beyond that, and if Stevens can't come to terms with that, he has no business in the Senate.
