Partisanship - fact and opinion

Fact:

Over the past four years, every move in Annapolis was viewed through the lens of this year's governor's race and the Democrats' attempts to make sure Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.'s first term would be his last. But with no obvious successor to the Senate presidency, that sport has been replaced by a new intrigue, and even if it doesn't capture the public's attention like a governor's race, it could become just as heated.

Opinion:

Instead of gaining seats in the General Assembly, Republicans merely held their own in the state Senate and lost six seats in the House of Delegates. Leaders of the party's legislative caucus are being asked to abandon their shrill partisanship in favor of a more conciliatory posture.

Sometimes even the Baltimore Sun can separate fact from opinion.
