Today's Episode of Name That Party

As Democratic former Governor Rod Blagojevich heads off to serve a lengthy prison sentence and Democratic former Governor and former presidential candidate John Edwards moves closer to trial, let's randomly pick the first two news stories we find to see if there's any mention of what political party they both just, you know, happen to belong to.

USA Today tells us Blago is off to the slammer but doesn't tell us until the tenth paragraph that he's a Democrat.

The Washington Post tells us lots of details about Edwards upcoming legal battle but doesn't mention his party affiliation at all.

Just an oversight. I'm sure.
