Name That Party: Spitzer vs. Craig

[For] seven selected major online news sites:(He has all the links, too.)CNN
MSNBC
CBS News
ABC News
NY Times
Washington Post
CNBC
Comparison: Spitzer’s resignation and Craig’s resignation (or related article at that time)...
SPITZER:“Democrat†- 1
“DNC†- 0
CRAIG:“Republican†- 16
“GOP†- 4
Some R's and GOP's are right in the headline, some in the subhead, some articles have up to 4 instances in the first few paragraphs, and one paragraph injects the word 3 TIMES!
What's more hilarious -- although, really, it makes me that much more ill -- is the one D mention is to annouce Spitzer's successor, which is uplifting news (legally blind black man, etc..)
