     COMMENTS: Spotlight on the Grand Old Party

CBS did not consider the off-year elections newsworthy enough for even a mention on the day before the vote. NBC and ABC both ran a quick debrief by their in-house political gurus, Chuck Todd and George Stephanopoulos respectively. They both pointed to a power struggle inside the Republican Party. Stephanopoulos cast it as "conservative challengers to moderate Republicans;" Todd as "massive infighting between the establishment wing of the party here in Washington and the conservative grassroots."

Only ABC's John Berman was assigned to cover an actual contest. He was dispatched to Watertown NY for the House race between Democrat Bill Owens and Conservative Douglas Hoffman. Berman showed us the campaign headquarters of Republican Dede Scozzafava, "now completely shut down," after the GOP had spent a futile $1m on her behalf. "Try to follow this," Berman suggested. "A Republican drops out of a race, which might guarantee Republicans keep the seat, which might be bad for the Republican Party, long term."
