WASHINGTON (AP) - Combat boots trumped cowboy boots. The election produced winners and losers of all varieties, not all of them as obvious as the footwear of choice for the candidates whose Virginia battle sealed the Democrats' rise to power in both houses of Congress.

In the win column: YouTube, Giorgio Armani suits, racy fiction by public figures, San Francisco, Arctic caribou, Rahm Emanuel, lobbyists who abide by the law and immigrants who didn't.

Losers? How about gun control, Halliburton, the legend of Karl Rove, officials who know about secret prisons and might be forced to talk, and liberal bloggers who may find it harder to rage against the machine now that their side IS the machine on Capitol Hill?

Plus, a couple of senators who have the middle initial F, happen to speak French and put their feet in their mouths in English.

11. I seem to recall his clothing designer

was PT Barnum. The circus tent department designed most of his wardrobe:rofl:

But seriously when I read that I thought the same thing. I thought it was also very sexist.

Is this the future of reporting?

Ms. Speaker, Ms. Speaker, who you wearing?
