Well...Stevens is now down by about 800 ballots, with tens of thousands left to be counted (though that might have changed by now).

Talked with a guy last night who was a Stevens fan, when I pointed out that he was likely to end up in prison, his response was, `Nope, he'll get a (presidential) pardon'. Guy supported Stevens mostly because of the `many years of experience' and 'connections and understandings that a freshman would not have or know' type arguments.
