Of course, if anyone likes to project their opinions on their readers, it’s the D&C. True to form, the D&C anoints Hillary Clinton as the all-but-decided leader in New York State in this article. Of course, we all know that “likely voters” is a very subjective term for a season in which we have seen record numbers of Democratic voters, so it’s pointless to put too much thought into polls.
But most distressing of all is this line: “Clinton just beefed up her forces in the state in hopes of securing the 151 delegates up for grabs.” That makes it seem like the winner of this contest gets all the delegates, and this is simply not true. To me, that seems like a way to subtly depress the turnout for Obama and Edwards supporters by making it seem like there’s no point in coming out for a guy who’s not going to gain anything for the effort.
