The decision by upstate New Yorker Eric Massa to resign from Congress capped a bad week for the Empire State's Democrats. CBS' Nancy Cordes pointed to allegations of sexual harassment against Congressman Massa plus the ethically-challenged Charles Rangel's decision to relinquish his chairmanship of the House Ways & Means Committee plus Gov David Paterson's decision not to run for re-election, accused of interfering in a domestic violence investigation. "This has been a dreadful week for Democrats," ABC's Jonathan Karl commented, digging up Speaker Nancy Pelosi's pledge to "drain the swamp that is Washington DC" when her party came into power in 2006.
NBC focused on the other side of the aisle, as John McCain, the incumbent Republican Senator from Arizona, faces a primary challenge from JD Hayworth, the "former radio host and former Congressman," as Kelly O'Donnell called him. Hayworth's online advertising paints McCain in blue face to accuse him of only acting the part of a conservative. McCain's campaign called the Avatar spoof "offensive and outrageous."
