Here are the Inquirer and Daily News takes on the Farnese victory.

Gar Joseph in the Daily News captures some local color from a voting day he calls pretty tame.

Most incumbents won, the AP reports. Well, except for ten-term legislator Harold James, Chris Brennan writes in the Daily News. Meanwhile, Catherine Lucey and Dave Davies in the Daily News name less-obvious winners (Bob Casey Jr., Chis Matthews?) and losers (Ward leaders, Geno's steaks) in the whole shebang.
