15. What I see here
may not be just a question of having experience at running a campaign, but the question of being a known quantity. Very hard for an outsider to break into the political and news media circles.

Also, I think we are facing the inevitable problem of bias in the "reporting". To report something is to disclose all of the facts regardless of your own feelings on the subject. Most of the people "reporting" on politics in the news media are "experts" and therefore offering their own opinions on whatever choice tidbits of facts they opt to include.

Basically, this is no different than what Rush Limbaugh does, just that the language used is less offensive, and the scope of what is politically "acceptable" is marginally wider.
