Wash. Post article claimed primary election results -- including one Democratic victory and several Republican losses -- signal trouble for incumbents of both parties

SUMMARY: Washington Post writers Dan Balz and Chris Cillizza asserted that the results of primary elections held in Oregon and Pennsylvania, which saw several Pennsylvania Republican state legislators ousted, "were the latest signals of brewing unrest that could threaten incumbents of both parties in the November elections." However, of the results reported in the article, the only one involving a Democrat was the primary victory of incumbent Oregon state Gov. Ted Kulongoski.
