The anchors telegraphed a complete lack of suspense or curiosity about Tuesday's elections for House and Senate. Both ABC's Charles Gibson and NBC's Brian Williams assumed massive Democratic majorities in both houses in their hypotheticals about the next administration. Gibson asked John McCain about his plans to be bipartisan in the face of overwhelming opposition. "I have worked across the aisle," was his reply. Williams asked Barack Obama about the dangers of partisan overreach: "I think Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid probably are getting a bad rap here in the assumption that somehow they will not show self-restraint." Obama criticized the majority Democratic Party during Bill Clinton's first term and the majority Republican Party during George Bush's: "I think there have been some pretty good lessons over the last 15, 20 years."
