Earlier I predicted where the Mainstream Media would take the discussion on last nights results. It would seem that I was not incorrect. Here's some of the headlines today.

Incumbency sir, is a crime (Part 2)
(continued from Part 1)
Rand Paul defeated the establishment Republican in Kentucky in what is largely seen as a victory for the Tea Party movement. This could be spun as anti-incumbency but it isn't. It's anti-Big Government. The Tea Party is many things but the one common theme is trying to re-capture some fiscal sanity. So the win by Rand Paul is a victory for that idea. Democrats currently personify the antithesis of that idea. Ironically, the spin continues.
Incumbency sir, is a crime...
...or so it would seem. Last night there were a number of interesting developments in primaries and an important special election. From Kentucky to Arkansas to Pennsylvania, results seemed to be be tailor-made to the Democrat, and soon to be mainstream media talking points about the mood of the country being anti-incumbency rather than anti-Democrat or anti-Obama. The talking points will eventually transition from that to the fact that the Tea Party is losing steam. But that's not what's really happening.
