It's truly over:

Convicted Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) conceded his race to Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich (D) Wednesday afternoon, less than 24 hours after the Associated Press declared the Democrat the winner.
"Given the number of ballots that remain to be counted, it is apparent the election has been decided and Mayor Begich has been elected," Stevens said in a statement.
Begich led Stevens by 3,724 votes in the most recent count, completed Tuesday evening. Alaska election law would have allowed Stevens to request a recount at his own expense, but his campaign confirmed that he will not do so.

In other news, SSP has obtained footage from Ted Stevens's 85th birthday celebration last night:

Great

The "SOB" was graceful for once.

Franken may be gaining some votes early. The heavily Republican counties will be counted later.
