Stevens Indictment Dampens GOP Prospects in Senate Fight
Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens faces seven felony charges for unreported gifts from VECO Corp and its executives. The indictment heightens Democratic leverage as Republicans grapple with his ailing reelection bid and loss of key committee posts amid a broader corruption scandal surrounding VECO. Governor Palin avoided urging resignation while McConnell offered no comment. Stevens vows to fight and push ahead, but party leaders and voters face a renewed clash over Big Oil and domestic drilling.
