is '''never''' moot when discussing a candidate who has received press attention only because of his candidacy. This candidate should be discussed in an article about the specific race that includes neutral coverage of all the candidates.  That's the only way to ensure the |neutral point of view, which is one of our most important policies.  It can be summarized as "Articles mustn't take sides, but should explain the sides, fairly and without bias."  All of the coverage mentioned above is utterly routine for a congressional candidate with a competent staff.  They send out press releases and the local papers print some of them.  Much is being made of his "national" coverage, yet the Seattle Times coverage is a reprint from the Chicago Tribune that mentions him only in passing.  Coverage in The Hill (newspaper)|The Hill is half a sentence, and that's a specialist publication for political junkies like me, not a general circulation publication.  The NBC coverage is by the local Chicago affiliate and not national.  The Associated Press coverage was printed in the Daily Herald (Arlington Heights)|Daily Herald, a suburban Chicago area paper. There is no significant coverage in the national press.  It is all routine and in passing.  There is no reason whatsoever to depart from  in this case
