I was clicking through the news tonight (morning for those in USA), and I came across some articles about the primary elections around the country. Some were interesting as I got to know some candidates from states in which I've never lived.
But one article struck me as a little odd. I had to read the headline three times to understand that Captain Obvious was most definitely working in the newroom today. (Note to editors and writers: don't be this stupid when writing headlines.)
The headline read: "Arizona GOP Primary Won by Conservative"
Really? I was expecting a liberal to win the Republican nomination.

Magi, "GOP" refers to "Grand Ole Party" and refers to the Republican Party. The Republicans are conservative and so the headline seems redundant...sort of like saying "Aussie National Won the Australian Presidency."
