Take away one win for the republicans

I see with some satisfaction that Parnell conceded to Walker. Good, there is still some hope for a Democratic win in the senate, although Begich would have to get nearly 60% of the absentee votes cast. He's come from 3000 back to beat Stevens in 2008, so don't close the door on this one yet.

The race has already been called for Sullivan so that one is over. former9thward Nov 2014 #1

The chances of Begich pulling this one out of the hat at this point are pretty damn slim. GGJohn Nov 2014 #2

Walker was endorsed by Sarah Palin and other Republicans. A Republican has been chosen to co-chair his transition team.
