Just saw this post from you; didn't want you to think I was ignoring it considering all the work you put into it. I still see this as what came first the chicken or the egg kind of thing. In other words, I'm not convinced that the media attention prompted then to consider running. There must be an element of buzz to generate the coverage which in turn generates more buzz, so IMO there was something "there" there. I also don't know what to make of the media reporting of the 2004 VP campaign run. But what this confusion has as the common thread is the media and so perhaps the answer is in the question. The media remains IMO gossipy junior high school girls.
