TPM: Senator Begich...

Begich's overwhelming lead in the Alaska Senate race against soon-t0-be jailbird Ted Stevens has gone from 3, to 814, to 1022 in the last 48 hours.

But the best news comes from TPM's Eric Kleefield.

The Anchorage Daily News points out that some of these new ballots have come from the Mat-Su area, the right-wing stronghold that gave us Sarah Palin -- so the fact that Begich's lead is still going up is a very bad sign for the incumbent Republican. Not only is the pool of remaining votes shrinking, but Stevens is running out of GOP areas that could put him over the top.
