May I suggest the off-topic forum in the most friendly way possible?
Done.

The media thrives on "interesting" subjects. Because there was little to no actual conflict on the republic party, it wasn't "interesting" enough to report about.

Meanwhile, the Clinton/Obama thing was a pretty neck-and-neck race for a while there, with strong opinions on both sides. That made it something interesting to report about.
I luv ya Vyndree but I have to disagree with you on this. Speaking as a conservative and one that watches the Republicans, it was a "shoot out at the O.K. Coral." IMHO McCain is only the candidate because he was the guy left standing after all the shots had been fired. Don't underestimate the power of media bias. Really, again IMHO it cost Clinton the nomination.
That said the thing that is interesting about this election is that on both sides,the anaylsts are saying that they will lose. The majority of Republicans aren't happy with McCain. At least 1/2 of the Democrats aren't happy with Obama. Further both of these candidates aren't doing well in the states that they, traditionally, have had to do well in. For example McCain didn't take the South. Obama lost New York, California, and Florida. So this is shaping up to be interesting if disappointing.
