That they need to take off their shoes so they can count correctly.

Here in Richmond our headlines were "Democrats declare control of Va. Senate".  They just couldn't bring themselves to say they had lost the Senate. I say "themselves" as the Times-Disgrace is one of the most stomach-turning "Red State" mouthpieces I have ever seen. After all Eric Cantor's wife sits on Media General's (the parent company of the Disgrace)BOD. 

What maroons! Luckily Eric Cantor will be done for soon -- in 2010 we'll see FAIR redistricting, and then in 2012 we can run a great candidate against him and WIN!

Is that a republican rag?

Even the fairly even (and Democrat-endorsing) Virginian Pilot front page today talked about a "Republican Surge" and big GOP wins.

Mhmm... that would explain John Miller, Ralph Northam, Bobby Mathieson, Joe Bouchard, and Paula Miller all winning in the readership area of said newspaper.

I vaguely remember the winner of a mock headline contest for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, announcing the end of the world.

"Governor Appoints Commission to Investigate Void at Commonwealth's Border."
