Tonight, Wednesday, the Statesman website goes front page with the GOP Convention. First time that I've seen with national political coverage on the front. There's a photo from the convention, and the headline: "Selby: GOP Convention marked by distractions." So it's not exactly triumphant.
My local paper sez, "Republican National Convention."

My Local Paper, Day 3
Either my local paper just prefers to put national political news on the website (the photo today is of Laura Bush standing behind Cindy McCain; the headline simply says, "Republican National Convention"), or the whole GOP thing is such an embarrassment, the Austin American Statesman has decided that the story line won't sell newspapers or keep eyeballs, so it's best to avoid it altogether.
