In light of Tuesday's elections, one thing is abundantly clear: If you want your boring local election to gain unwarranted national weight and prominence, hold it in an off year.

Barack Obama's campaign manager accused former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin on Sunday of co-opting the Republican Party and driving it toward the ideological fringe. In an appearance promoting his book on NBC's "Meet the Press," David Plouffe said that Democrats should "thank John McCain for picking [Palin]" as his running mate.

What will we do, what will we do? CBS’ Face The Nation : ....Sen. Joe Lieberman. Oh thank goodness, I was worried there would be no float for the wanker parade. Odds that Lieberman will be challenged on his palpable lies about the public option? Oh, about none.
