McCain wins in November no delisting. Obama wins, they are delisted as a threat. Why? McCain will continue with a tough or tougher policy, while it beats Obama to the punch in delisting Korea. Puts the onus on Obama to deal with North Korea as a "non hostile entity". A dangerous position to be in for the democratic party. Could be presidential politics as well.

If people see what is going on then they will become interested. More in depth reporting on the DPRK would be necessary to spark more interests. On a down side is that more reporting on North Korea will inevitably reap in more reporting on South Korea. 95% of the people here in the U.S. have no clue about the protests this summer or the 2002 anti U.S. riots.

North Korea is still seen as a joke and not worth discussing much in mainstream America. Any info on the country in the media only amounts to footnote reporting so the subject of North Korea or the Korean peninsula is not really on the minds of most Americans.
