So Close, Yet So Far Away

Local news media in the United States were often criticized for not having enough world news. That may be so, but now that I live on the Internet I find it easier to learn what happened last night in Tel Aviv than in Carmel. The national and global perspectives are well-covered. But there's an empty space in the local news market.

Today is primary day. And this has been a busy campaign, with two slates of Republican candidates swinging away at each other. One slate calls itself Team Carmel 2003. How sweet. A candidate on the other slate pulled out the big guns: his friendship with Rudy Giuliani. Yet because I am not intimately involved with the rivalry between these two groups, I have no idea for whom to vote. I need the story that only local sources can tell.

What I can tell you is that given the Republican majority in Carmel, whoever wins this election will trounce the Democratic and Green candidates in November.
