WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A jury found U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska guilty Monday of all seven counts in his federal corruption trial.I was leaning acquittal, but I wasn't there to see all the testimony.
The jury found Stevens guilty of "knowingly and willfully" scheming to conceal on Senate disclosure forms more than $250,000 in home renovations and other gifts from an Alaska-based oil industry contractor.
The question now, is will Sen. Stevens gracefully exit and take care of his persona business, or will he pull a Larry Craig and drag as many fellow office holders he can down with him. With a week and change to go before the election, his entire reputation is at stake.
