Each week, host Michael Carey gathers journalists and commentators for a review of the week’s news, politics and public affairs in Anchorage and Alaska. Topics this week include:

Ted Stevens: Guilty
Sarah Palin and John McCain call for Ted Stevens to resign in the wake of the conviction (among other national Republicans)
Stevens is appealing to voters, asking for their vote on Tuesday, saying he can be effective in the Senate — but will his message turn into voter action, and can he really be effective in the Senate while under such a substantial legal cloud?
How will bush Alaska vote, with respect to Stevens?
Stevens returns to Alaska to a throng of supporters at his eponymous airport
Stevens was surprised that Bill Allen was dishonest?
Debate for the State: How did Ted Stevens do?
Debate for the State: How did Don Young and Ethan Berkowitz do?
Don Young is being nice, and isn’t being overconfident in this campaign
How has Mark Begich handled the Ted Stevens trial and conviction?
What is Begich’s plan for the remainder of his campaign?
For Senator Stevens, what is his potential “road to victory?”
With so much early and absentee voting combined with normal voting, how can we figure out the results?
The national presidential race will likely be decided early toward the east coast — will that depress west coast voting?

the opening on the Stevens verdict failed to accurately reflect the conviction- which was a failure to report. This is not the same as corruption.
