2. Notice the southern headlines tend to be a bit smaller and less direct? |

:rofl:
Decatur, AL, "Obama's Nation" in type no larger than the paper's title, and the story is only half the page.
Russelville, AR, "Obama Wins" not even in caps, and in the center of the page, just above the fold. Local news takes top billing.
Anchorage, AK has a full size picture, but can't bring themselves to say Obama wins. "Obama Makes History."
I was almost expecting one of them to say "Oh Hell, The Black Guy won" :rofl:
Can't blame the papers, I guess. I'm sure they each have different style guidelines and such, but I'm also sure that most papers in Alaska or Alabama don't want to wake up their readers with a blaring "OBAMA WINS!!!" headline.
