It's typical politics. Doesn't matter if it's Democrat or Republican. It's spin.

Last night, Ari Fleischer, former Press Secretary for President Bush, was shown on Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show" saying how these couple of races were repudiations of the Democrats and that it wasn't "just local politics".

Then they showed footage of him a few years ago giving a press conference after the Democrats took some races in an off year election (I want to say it was the 2001 election) and said "it's just local politics".

As Jon Stewart has said in the past "Do they NOT know that the cameras are rolling when they talk?"
