Replacement elected 08, bugged by Uncle Ted not letting the power go, thus the "danger" of flying that machine. Places where therte is a lot of moollah at stake is always dangerous.

How was removed: Ted Stevens, the Alaska Senator, is clinging to a lead of around 3,300 votes in his battle against Mark Begich, the Democratic mayor Anchorage. There are 50,000 votes still to be counted, mostly absentee and postal ballots, and it could take ten days to get a result if it goes down to the wire. Mr Stevens, 84, is the longest-serving Republican senator in history and officially the highest-ranking senator. But he was found guilty barely a week ago on seven federal felony charges for failing to properly report gifts worth more than $250,000. Curiously, the senator's poll ratings climbed after that conviction, which he is challenging on grounds of "prosecutorial misconduct". If he sees off Mr Begich, he would then become the first convicted felon to win election to the Senate.
