article in USA Today about challenge
but not on front page:(

I like it better than the yahoo one I found, though, and the Seattle Times and PI were pretty lame, too, but at least it is being covered. christ, this is a historical moment, wtf is up with MSM? self-serving traitors to their own profession, bleh.

1. They told a bit about the debate
that the Dems wanted election reform and the Pubs were sniping. That is what is important.

5. Then why don't you tell them
You posted this elsewhere. I agree the corporate media is ignoring this, for the most part, so it's up to US to become the real media. Andrea Yates affects my life about <> that much.

3. Did we really expect the "media" to give this coverage?
We had ABC news on last night during dinner (which I can't stop my husband from watching) and Jennings called it "ceremonial" on the part of the Dems. Ceremonial? WTF was that????

Call me pessimistic, (as I am 100% of the time about the media in this country - but at least pessimists are never let down), but I knew this attempt to bring voter fraud to the front of the discussion in this country would fail because of the complacent, butt-snorkeling media. They are so far up bush's behind, they can count the hemorrhoids.

'nuff said, rant over...

4. what did you expect?!
all the heavy breathing here at DU about the importance of it all, and John Conyers got far more ink about the 60 missing freebie turkeys.
