'08 Campaign Gets More Coverage Than Iraq
Study Says Television, Newspapers, Web Sites And Radio Have Shifted Focus Towards Presidential Race

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20, 2007
(CBS/AP)

Fast Fact

Reporting on events in Iraq made up 6.7 percent of the total so-called newshole, compared to 9 percent devoted to the 2008 campaign, the study found.

(AP) Politics eclipsed the Iraq war as the top story in recent news coverage as U.S. media attention focused on the presidential race, according to a study released Monday.

People R stupid.
 
Well...

I do think one does have something to do with the other. Our interest in this election and the early start of it is from the fact that,

1) There is no "incumbent" in the executive branch running for it.

and 2) There are pressing issues like Iraq that people want solved now, by a candidate who won't be in office until 2009.
