10. Edwards has faced the same problem. It's just the way it goes.
It doesn't change the fact that in this democratic electoral process, support matters. If you can't field more than 1% support then you can't be expected to be automatically included in every event especially as the field narrows and we move closer and closer toward a single selection.
Life isn't fair. If you don't have the candidate who can build enough grassroots support to overcome the challenges of the system, then you need to find someone else. I am tired of people blaming the media rather than taking personal responsibility. The media sucks. Big deal. Power-Elite interests have always been around. They didn't stop Dr. King. They didn't stop FDR. They didn't stop countless leaders through history who carried a message of change that was directly opposed by the establishment and the power elite.
Consider the possibility that if your guy can't seem to overcome the obstacles, perhaps he isn't the right guy for that particular role.
