Political party not mentioned. Part of the lack of buzz is that the even years have so many elections that a lot of interesting races don't get much national attention. (Newsies seemed to have decided that Rubio was the designated Hispanic Republican to follow this time) Odd year/off cycle doesn't have the competition for tv time, top of the web page, or top of the fold paper space, and I suspect she would have gotten more press for a 2009 or 2011 win.

GOP was mentioned in second paragraph.

poppy- the question was what was missing from the headline, not the body of the story.

Her name? Her state? The fact that FOX was the one who dropped the ball? :idontno:

CNN reports it, Fox News doesn't, but liberal media bias is why she (and other Republican Hispanics) don't get attention? :lol:

I am sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the candidate herself doesn't want the focus to be on her race or gender. :sarc:

You're on track. Fox mentions she is the first latina Governor which is technically true but a bit disingenuous when there is no mention whatsoever of the first Latino Governor of New Mexico. I don't think any huge barriers have been broken here.

I also love this quote-
Several mainstream news outlets like the Washington Post and Chicago Tribune -- even FoxNews.com -- neglected to mention her Hispanic heritage
