Alexi Giannoulias

Based on yesterday's elections (they call it voting), Democrat Alexi Giannoulias is running for the Presidents' old US Senate seat. It will be a tough race and one the Republicans desperately need to win.   Neither candidate is going to win easily. In fact it could become as sorted as the Massachusetts election which was won by Republican Scott Brown. Alexi is Greek and plays basketball.  That should give his Republicans opponents endless possibilities.
