And what about the race between John Kerry and Michael Cloud for the US 
Senate seat?  The media (radio, TV and newspapers) have totally ignored 
this one.  I bet there are a lot of people who don't even know that 
Kerry is running for re-election, much less that someone is running 
against him.

To have the media pick which candidates they think can win, and then 
cover just those candidates, is irresponsible.
