Hmm, using Google News, this doesn't exactly look like it's being ignored. Beyond the AP story I pulled (and AP feeds a lot of newspapers), there's Fox News, USA Today, NY Times, ABC news, LA Times, Washington Post ... the list goes on. Looks like this story circulated to almost every major news source; talk of a conspiratorial cover-up may be premature.

What nobody's answering, though, is how on earth did this happen? I mean, what the heck were the voters thinking?
