Federal agents searched the home of Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, on Monday, focusing on records related to his relationship with an oil-field services contractor jailed in a public-corruption investigation, a law-enforcement official said.

Stevens, 83, is under scrutiny for a 2000 renovation project that more than doubled the size of his home in Girdwood, an exclusive ski-resort area 40 miles from Anchorage. The project was overseen by Bill Allen, a contractor who has pleaded guilty to bribing Alaska state legislators.

Argument could be made for Robert Byrd.

There's no way Stevens wins reelection. That VECO scandal in Alaska is toxic.

Stevens has even admitted that this will hurt his chances. So look for him to do something to stop the investigation, you know, so that Congress can attend to the people's business.
