Okay the media ignored these allegations.

Why not blame the party that failed to field a candidate?

Wiki
During his 2002 run for re-election, the Democrats failed to field a candidate, and his closest competition was from Libertarian Karl Dietrich. A write-in candidate from that election, Mike Byron, went on to become the Democratic challenger in 2004.[16]

Maybe if the opposition kept it’s eye on the ball…
