Interesting that only Fox spent more time covering the Speaker of the House than an unsuccessful Senate candidate from Delaware. This may be a function of Fox's preference for putting the Democrats' embarrassments front-and-center. What are the excuses of CNN and MSNBC- especially since the Democratic candidate for the Senate from South Carolina was far more outre than the one from Delaware?

The Democratic candidate from South Carolina may have been more outre but his story was less clear. The biggest question in his case was, "How was it possible for him to win the primary?". Rather than try to delve into a complicated and possibly uncomfortable story, the media took a pass. This also doesn't say good things about the media.
