To CNN ignoramuses: A primary is about winning delegates not votes
CNN refused to call Oklahoma for Clark even though he was leading with 99% of the votes. You lying SOSers should have been reporting delegates as well as vote totals, It was not a 30% tie because Clark won 15, two more than Edwards and three more than Kerry. A primary is not about who wins the most votes it's about who gets the most delegates. Also Clark won delegates in 4 states yesterday Edwards only 3. Dean won 7 delegates yesterday also. You did not report cumulative delegate totals either. Why don't you do complete reporting and not horse-race reporting?

1. Ex-fucking-zactly!
Dean remained the actual frontrunner until last night. And with 90% of the delegates yet unclaimed, NOBODY is walking away with this nomination yet. But you'll never hear that on FAUX, MSRNC, or DLCNN.

2. CNN is an Open Sewer

of bad facts, skewed reporting, right-wing bias and snarky sideways glances among four people who must've had a miserable high school experience and now are making us all pay.

4. LOL
"four people who must've had a miserable high school experience and now they are making us all pay."

I'd never thought of that!
Suddenly I'm flashing back to remembering the yearbook staff in my high school.


Thanks....
