EVERYONE LOVES A RACE AND IT SELLS PAPERS

I am amused by this headline.

Obama Has Narrow Lead on McCain

The lead turns out to be 5 %. Not very narrow, actually.

And what is more, his edge with Independents is 22%! To say nothing of women at 15%.

I read the same kind of headline in the Washington Post when its ABC/WaPo poll showed similar figures.

Obama is way ahead by any reckoning of electoral votes as well. Except at CNN and MSNBC, the electorals are shown as tied.

Gotta keep the race exciting. Which is really hard with Mr. McCitement running over there.

The media will not tolerate a landslide until it happens.

That's OK. It will happen.
