It's 6:50, and I've already heard some variation of this comment twice on the "Evening News": "They say all politics is local, but it doesn't look that way in this year's election." I've seen the sentiment elsewhere around the Web today as well, and I am sure we'll hear it more than once on various stations as coverage continues tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, it seems the 2006 mid-term election has its first official cliché. Feel free to work it into your election drinking game.
