This article does not hit any issues of importance in the 2008 Presidential campaign. Instead it repeats 'on-the-bus' style reporting about a candidate being late for events. It does at least mention that other candidates are often late, yet it paints it as a big issue for one particular candidate. Having worked on campaigns and been married to a campaign scheduler, I understand how many candidates are frequently late and how that has no relevance.

(comment refers to full article)

What is missing? Any discussion about the issues, or how the article has any relevance to the current campaign.
