Missing in Action

And, while Cantwell and McGavick are off in the ether, and getting regular media coverage, does anyone know where Aaron Dixon (G), C. Mark Greene (R), Brad Klippert (R), Hong Tran (D), Mark Wilson (D) and Bruce Guthrie (L) (no web site yet) are?

Of course nobody knows. And nobody knows because, except perhaps for Dixon, the media is not providing any substantial coverage.

And why is the media ignoring these others? Could it be because they, along with the major polling organizations, still think American politics can be reliably plotted on a single axis (left-right) political spectrum? In fact, the Pew Research Center has demonstrated the premise is patently false.

The next time a polling organization contacts you about this race, ask why there are only two choices.
