Governor vs. weather

It's off the track just a bit.
But why weather trumps a decision not to run for the highest office in the state escapes my knowledge.
In case this particular TV station doesn't know, it does get cold around here in January. And it does snow every so often. And posting someone in the snow is about the most asinine stunt you can offer on TV (second to a blatant self-promotion for the "don't stick the USB port in your mouth" campaign).
When the governor decides not to run for a second term, that's news. And there are people in the world who don't have access to computers during their time at work.
Wrong choice.
Again.
