Super Cutting-Edge Midterm Election Blog Technology: The Emphasizanator 2000

That's why, for this year's midterms, we've invested in top-of-the-line blog technology in order to make election night on the Indecision blog unlike any experience you've ever had before in your hum-drum life.
Do you ever read a sentence, unsure of which words are normal, and which are really super crazy important? We do. And we write the words! But with the Emphasizanator 2000 — a brand-new technology specifically developed for the Indecision blog — we can now take an ordinary sentence:

…and make the important words slanty, instead of straight:
The Democrats squandered any chance of winning at all when they ran away from their considerable accomplishments.
Can you get that at the Huffington Post? Of course not.
Check back throughout the day as we roll out the rest of the awesome new technology that will make your experience with us one to tell your grandkids about — or, at the very least, your step-nephews.
