Minority candidates

This story (free registration required) in the Standard-Examiner was very well-conceived and fairly well-executed. I have long believed the news media (and political parties) were only hurting themselves by ignoring Utah's minority populations. Two minor glitches with the story: first, it was entitled "More minority candidates run" but the story admitted it did not know how many minorities had run in the past; second, there was a subhed entitled "Not just Democrats," but the next subhed was "Only one Republican."
