Howard Kurtz has already written the first several paragraphs for tomorrow’s WaPo story on the impact of how today’s elections effect the Republic’s political landscape. Two versions, in fact, covering his bets.
The first paragraph of each:
Ushering in a new political alignment that could render President Bush impotent in his final two years, Democrats swept to victory in the congressional elections yesterday as voters vented their frustration with the war in Iraq, Republicans scandals in particular and GOP incumbents in general.
Or:
In a stunning surprise that defied expectations, the Republicans held onto their Capitol Hill power base yesterday, bolstering President Bush in the final two years of his term and dashing the hopes of Democrats who thought that they were about to emerge from the political wilderness.
They look uncannily realistic.
