According to foxnews.com, the HUGE NY-23 election is no longer newsworthy.
Edited on Wed Nov-04-09 01:12 AM by Bicoastal
Yes, after throwing the combined weight of Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Sarah Palin, and Rush Limbaugh behind Hoffman--after multiple front-page stories about the Tea Party insurgence in upstate New York--Fox News is now almost completely ignoring Democrat Bill Owens' win in favor of the two highly-predictable Republican Gubernatorial victories. Thus, they didn't even have to alter their pre-written headline ("Wins Give GOP Hope.")

What? We've ALWAYS been at war with Eurasia!

1. Same thing on MSN, calling the Dem. losses an "Obama Referendum" or "Election Test"
but has only a small link showing the NY race. It's ridiculous, isn't the NY district one that hasn't gone Dem. since 1850? And it's somehow not a big deal?

2. Give 'em enough rope...
And let the situation resolve itself.

Tedious, but effective.
