    CNN's webpage never mentioned party affiliation either.

    I had to reread the article several times to try to figure out Cunningham's affiliation, and finally realized it just wasn't there. What was there -- in the very last paragraph -- was the line, "Cunningham's pleas came amid a series of GOP scandals." That wording, of course, leaves it rather ambiguous as to whether this is ANOTHER GOP scandal, or one that helps balance out GOP scandals with a Democratic scandal.
