Vincent Orange, fighting Kwame Brown for Gray’s seat, went with a smaller Cadillac SUV than his competitor. What, he couldn’t afford an orange paint job?

Oops, scratch that whole “news is looking up” thing we put in the last post about today’s holiday travel. If you’re headed to New York City via Amtrak today, be prepared for a wait. The AP is reporting that power issues have halted all trains on the Northeast Corridor, among other lines. Trains are stuck on the tracks going both in and out of the city, with some stuck outside Penn Station and others in between NYC and Newark. Good luck, train travelers. UPDATE: The AP now says that power has been restored since 11:30 a.m., though since the outage affected trains all the way from D.C. to Boston, it’s unclear how long delays might continue to get everything back into service.
