According to the blog "Clintonistas for Obama ", Anchorage, Alaska Democratic Mayor Mark Begich has beaten Alaska Senator Ted Stevens. Begich is ahead by 3,724 votes, with fewer votes than that to be counted.
This means that there are now 58 Democrats in the Senate. President-Elect Barack Obama needs just two more wins to reach the "filibuster-proof" mark of 60 Dems. Two races remain: Republican Georgia Senator Saxby Chambiss in a runoff against Democrat Jim Martin, and Republican Norm Coleman vs. Dem Al Frankin in Minnesota, in a vote recount too close to call.
