Los Angeles Bureau Chief Dan Goodgame found himself climbing up the sideboards of mud-spattered beet trucks while covering the campaign of Idaho Republican Steve Symms, who won a second Senate term. Bonnie Angelo, who heads the New York bureau, searched a small town in Maryland with Democrat Barbara Mikulski, who would later win her Senate bid, as she tried to find the hall where she was supposed to speak.
