After spending the entire first half of this semester bemoaning the lack of coverage of the GOP primary elections on Cleveland.com, I was very pleased to finally see some excellent coverage of this week's Super Tuesday elections.
While the extremely close primary election (not officially announced until Wednesday morning), was covered very well, the Plain Dealer focused more on local elections, with the top story throughout the week concerning the primary election for the Congressional seat in Ohio's newly-created ninth district.

But the ninth district did not overshadow the national primary, as local Ohio news has done on Cleveland.com in the past. A page compiling all of the news from Super Tuesday was published online, summarizing well the election results with constant updates. All levels of government are well-covered on this page, from national to state and even local county elections.
My question is this: If the Plain Dealer is able to cover one day's worth of elections this thoroughly, why can't they cover an entire national race just as well?
