In Senate Races, G.O.P. Piles Up Some Firsts By CARL HULSE - NYT The Republicans' success in Senate races sent Democrats into a tailspin and provided a series of unique occurrences. First, the election of Mel Martinez in Florida means he will be the first Cuban-American to serve in the Senate. In Louisiana, David Vitter will be the first Republican ever to represent the state in the Senate. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who was initially appointed to her Senate seat, became the first person born in Alaska elected to represent the state in the Senate, according to Senator George Allen of Virginia, who directed the Republican campaign effort. And, Mr. Allen said, Senate victories in Georgia and South Carolina mean that for the first time those two states will be represented in the Senate strictly by Republicans. And here's one the Democratic leader, Tom Daschle of South Dakota, no doubt could have lived without. He became the first Senate leader since 1952 to lose his election back home.
