Good News/Bad News

There's other good news out there too. (Not much, but some.) Ken Salazar beat Pete Coors. Barbara Boxer won reelection handily. The odious Phil Crane got his ass kicked by Melissa Bean.

Yes, the G.O.P. retains control of both houses of Congress. But candidates like Obama and Bean show that the Democrats can win by recruiting talented and intelligent young(er) candidates who don't let their opponents (or the whores) misrepresent them.

Let's not ignore the bad news, though. TBogg has the recap. And don't forget the intellectually bankrupt press corps, either.
