What is wrong with our country?

I mean, there's a long list of things, but this headline gave me pause. And pause led to expletives. And the expletives led to a gnawing sense of disgust...

Clinton edges Obama in cash on hand

WASHINGTON - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton ended September with more money in the bank than rival Barack Obama, holding $35 million cash on hand for the presidential primary contests to his $32 million.

Both were far ahead of Republican money leader Rudy Giuliani, underscoring the financial disparity between the parties. Giuliani reported $11.6 million in the bank for the primaries.

Clinton, who had trailed Obama in fundraising and in money in the bank at the end of June, edged past him with an aggressive third quarter of fundraising.

What does this have to do with Democracy? We should see headlines like, "Edwards' Class Speech Resonates With An Uneasy Electorate." Or, "Kucinich Pretty Much Right About Everything." Or, "Gore To Enter Race For President."

But no, it's all about how much money each candidate has raised. No in depth analysis about how they raised the money, just who has the most.

How about some headlines about issues?

It's sad.
