Conservative Arizona Senator John McCain has the odd idea that he can win his party's nomination by first seducing the national media. If the media cared at all about liberalism, then choosing McCain over politician George W. Bush would be like picking arsenic over cyanide. Bill Bradley, who is running the most progressive mainstream campaign since Ted Kennedy in 1980, had a chance to steal some of McCain's thunder. Back in Michigan, actual Republicans gave likely loser George Bush a strong intraparty majority.
