Palin calls for Begich’s resignation

Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) called on Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska ) Thursday to step down from his seat and run in a special election in the wake of the Justice Department’s decision to drop corruption charges against former Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska). Begich narrowly defeated Stevens in 2008, a contest overshadowed by Stevens’ October conviction.

That seems like a really bad idea. The mere fact that Stevens was indicted tainted him and he had no shot at winning. Charges may have been dropped, but he’s still guilty as homemade sin.
