No News to Report? Should we puff up the SARS threat? Or do some trendspotting? Trendspotting!

Every damn election year, the press feels the need to identify the new key voting block. Apparently soccer moms, office park dads and playground pedophiles are out, the new "it" voters are single women, the group of people least likely to to vote and most dissatisfied with the direction of the country. It is strange how a new group of voters gets discovered every two years, like single women (or married women, bus drivers and sushi-eaters) never existed (or at least never voted) before. Lame, indeed.
