I READ THE NEWS TODAY, OH BOY
and i had a couple of
questions.
The big, bold headline on the front page of this
morning's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reads: Democratic race goes
on. The subhead, in normal type less than half the size of the
header, reads: Resurgent Clinton triumphs in Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island.
What do you think the chances are, had Senator Breath of Fresh Air won by four points in Texas, by ten points in Ohio, and by eighteen points in Rhode Island, that the big, bold headline would have read: Democratic race likely over? Or that his name -- cue the chorus of Hosanna in the highest! -- would have been relegated to a subhead dwarfed and sandwiched between the words Democratic and McCain?
Yeah. That's what I thought too.
