[RF] A few presidential elections past, one of the California-based media-and-the-public groups hosted a focus group. The headline out of that focus group was that participants were desperate for real political news. They were willing to spend extra time and money to pass up the fluff from the daily papers in order to find the information they needed to make educated decisions. It may be less that the Star Tribune has power than it is those new subscribers to the list are desperate for information that will let them participate as informed citizens in the election and afterwards. --Rosa Field Ward 10 (Since the New York Times has become the USA Today Times, it is o longer my paper of record.) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
