Asked to comment on the fact that no politicians took to the microphone this year, Jane Pollicino says this :

“There’s something missing if they’re not here at all,” she said. “Now, all of a sudden, it’s `for the families.’ This happened to our country — it didn’t happen only to me.”

Seems to sum up R. R. Reno’s explanation pretty well.
