"GOP presidential race turns to Florida

MIAMI - The Republican presidential race turned to Florida on Sunday, ever more chaotic and contentious as four candidates began a 10-day sprint to win the state and momentum heading into the de facto national primary next month.

A fifth candidate, Fred Thompson, weighed the future of his bid after a disappointing third-place finish in South Carolina."

If you keep on reading the article, you'll see no mention of the "sixth" candidate. Apparently coming in 2nd in NV and getting more votes than the "fifth candidate" or even the "fourth" one in other primaries isn't enough to get you a mention.

It's like being in one of those creepy futuristic movies where the government and media collude to hide or distort events from the public. Thank goodness we don't live in a place like that! I'm sure this (like all of the other recent examples from various media outlets) is just some random oversight.
