1. Supreme Court Justice is a relative bigger deal than U.S. Representative (9 vs. 435) plus one justice arguably holds more “weight”, “power” than a Congressman.

2. The Sotomayor nomination was more controversial and thus, naturally garnered more attention.

3. Judy Chu's race was pretty boring in comparison

4. People are ignorant and/or don't care of the historical significance of Chu's election

Still, Judy Chu definitely deserved more coverage. Even Obama's shout out was pretty quiet and overlooked by the MSM.
