Three choices for Ted Stevens

Now that he has been found guilty of seven felony counts of violating ethics laws, Alaska Senator Ted Stevens faces three choices. The first is his choice: He should resign immediately, as his fellow Republicans John McCain and fellow Alaskan Sarah Palin have been urging him to do. If that doesn't happen (and perhaps even if it does), the second choice belongs to the voters of Alaska: They should not vote for him in next Tuesday's election. If neither of those things happen, the third choice belongs to the U.S. Senate: It should begin the expulsion process as soon as possible. It's just that simple.
