Seven Times As Many
I was listening to NPR on my way to work as is my habit, and heard their coverage of todays primaries. The told their listeners that neither candidate would have enough delegates after all the votes are in to clench the nomination. They said that either of them would need superdelegates to claim the nomination. They did not mention that Clinton would need seven times as many as Obama. That is the kind of slopy reporting that makes her supporters think she still has a chance when she does not!

NPR has been in the tank for Hillary for months now. I remember Mara Liasson ending her report on Missouri's close contest saying the state was "split right down the middle." Not quite. Obama won.

This latest BS was enough to get me to send them a sternly worded e-mail. I am sure that will mend their ways!

I had to turn off CNN the other night because I could not bear to watch Blitzer's enthusiastic explication of Hillary's popular vote "win." No mention of the omission of caucus states, of course.
