Same song, different verse

Republicans retained a congressional seat in a long-conservative Ohio district in a special election yesterday, but it was interesting. Democrats ran an Iraq war veteran; he got 48%. They took heart at this showing, since the Republican who resigned to take a job in the Bush administration consistently won the district with 70%.

Typical Democrats. They lose and like it.

Speaking of Republicans, former Florida Sec'ty of State Katherine Harris, who's running for Senate, is amply displaying the paranoid delusions suitable for a Republican candidate. The former official, who's known for pulling strings to ensure Bush's 2000 election "victory," claims "the newspapers colorized my photograph," leading the nation to conclude she was hideously tacky. The AP photo editor responsible for Florida at the time angrily denies the charge; a polisci prof opines it was television, not newspapers, that made her look like Cruella DeVil.
