Remainders, Miscellany and the Occasional Rant

8.6%, Kids, 8.6%

If I hear/read another daftsinine reporter/pundit call this a ten point win I’m going to freak out. How do lies like this persist? Axelrod didn’t correct the guy on NPR—that would have been petty—but, seriously, when her campaign sets the expectations bar at 10%, after being up by as much as 25% in polls, that wee 1.4% ain’t nothing.

Not so late update: It’s now 9.2%. Still not “ten.”
