9. Because that isn't what the media asks about or covers.
The media only asks about things that hold a potential for damage to Dems. If they volunteer a thought, it will be edited out. Swiftboating worked because of the extensive free media coverage it was given. They were glad to cover Kerry when it obscured the Real Security Plan because they could then to deny the Dems have a plan. There job is GOP propaganda and they do it well. The Dems don't find the cameras, the cameras find them when there is a chance for embarrassment.
