SILENCE ON THE LEFT – AT 8:28 P.M. ET:  Reader Dennis Carson alerts us to a curious phenomenon occurring right now – the virtual absence of anything about Massachusetts on the CNN website.

It's true, it's true.  I looked in vain just a minute ago.  You go to their main page and there's nada.  You have to go to their POLITICS tab and there, in a little box, is a list of stories.  Third one from the bottom, through my magnifying glass, is "GOP Eyes Senate Upset in Massachusetts."

CNN – home, as they tell us, of the best political team on television.

Maybe it's lunch hour.

The CNN crowd is apparently very unhappy about Massachusetts.  Who are these little Paul Reveres, who want to vote against our Martha?  What are their College Board scores?

This is the most important special election in memory, and CNN.com hasn't noticed.

Their ratings are in the tank.  Maybe there's a reason.
