You're right, assuming Herseth wins, Tom Brokaw, who grew up in Pickstown and Yankston, SD, will declare the results the "repudiation of the President in the heartland." However, if the Republican candidate wins, there will be no mention of the election on the NBC evening news because "the seat did not change party hadns." And Brokaw still does not understand why many consider his reporting biased.

Yankston should of course be "Yankton"
hadns should be "hands"
