One as-yet-under-reported story of Tuesday's historic election is the new raft of Democratic stars that have vaunted themselves to the national stage. Sure, Barack Obama's a superstar, but how about Jon Tester? Or the photogenic, guitary-playing new governor of Maryland, Martin O'Malley? Or the first Muslim congressman in our history, Keith Ellison? And remember Eliot Spitzer? He's a governor now.
I'm sure there are many others-- future national spokesmen (and women), possible POTUS and VP picks. So who are the best of the lot? Who's overlooked? I've listed a few below, but I know it's an inadequate list.
Nice to see how much deeper the Democratic bench is now than the Republican.
