Whose story is this, anyway?

So I've been trying to find out more about the Senate and House races. To me the most remarkable thing is that, like this story at the Washington Post"Dole among losers as Democrats gain in Senate," in case that horrendous link doesn't hold up, some of the newspapers are less concerned with the Democratic victory than they are with the plight of the poor Republicans and their "task" going forward. What the hell?

Isn't the story here the general changing of the guard? Isn't the interesting thing the quality of the congress with these new people in it? Apparently, for the Post, as well as for the LA Times, the interesting thing is the Republicans.

Oh well. I mean, the Republicans are interesting, they are still there, still evil, still powerful, and still willing to go to any horrible lengths to serve their own narrow interests. But surely that story is for Thursday morning, isn't it? Isn't Wednesday morning the day to contemplate the winners?

By the way, it looks like Mary Jo Kilroy is going to win in Ohio after all.
