Apparently There Were Some Elections

In a new roundup of the morning's front pages you'll be glad to hear that our measured press corps refuses to read too much into last night as a ridiculous referendum on Obama so soon into his presidency. Kidding!

Most of the front pages focus on the fact that New Jersey and Virginia statehouses went Republican while a congressional district in upstate NY went Democrat for the first time in 100 years despite (or perhaps because of) the interference of Sarah Palin. The New York press go big on the news that Bloomberg didn't win by as much as you would have thought considering he spent a bajillion dollars and handed out dubloons from his sedan chair. The story that Warren Buffett decided to fulfill magnate cliches and invest in trains makes a splash too. And apparently there's also some baseball game later.
