1. Unless Coakley wins... and then the media will ignore the Dem winning
...and focus on Haiti some more.

2. Not a chance - you can't just ignore 200,000 deaths
Especially when it happens in our own neighborhood.

5. not likely.
It may not be the top story for a few days after the results come in but it won't drop out the news cycle completely... so much death and destruction is simply impossible to ignore.

6. Absolutely
After all, it's time to bury the dead, and the MSM won't want to stick around for that.

:cry:

It's much more cool to spend hours pontificating on what the Senate race in Massachusetts MEANS.
