Big Wins for Democrats?

Seems like every paper in the nation is touting a major victory for the Democrats. I think this is ridiculous. They won two governor seats and initiatives in California Failed. oooohhh this really means something..

What didn't get the big headlines:

Texas voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional ban on gay marriage
GOP Mayor Michael Bloomberg re-elected

Of course the Dems already held the two governors seats so a 'big victory' was really 'We didn't loose any ground'!
