Linda McMahon scored an AP article on Tuesday that noted she has missed past elections. The story was picked up by the Los Angeles Times and noted that she acknowledged missing the 2008 presidential primary in a recent blog, and reported that she missed a general election in 2006 and several local elections.

Powell's POV: We pointed out on the day she launched her campaign website that Linda confessed to missing the primary. Perhaps the next Dot Net poll should ask whether Linda should be lynched, stoned, or hung for missing these elections.

Seriously, the media and politicians always make a big fuss over voting history, but how many people really base their vote on whether a candidate voted in past elections? Not me. I care about important issues such as which Minnesota senatorial candidate is more likely to build the Vikings a new stadium, legalize marijuana, and drop the bomb on Wisconsin.
