Sign of the times

My local newspaper is known for always trying to cozy up to the winning side in the political world, whatever that side happens to be. When Crashcart Cheney visited this desert outpost of a community yesterday I noted that the protest organized by local Democrats garnered almost as many column-inches as the Cheney-Rossi fundraiser. The DNC gets the headline above the fold, of course. My take on what the editors are up to is that they are not supremely confident in a Republican victory in this historically-Republican community. For here, that's a good thing.
