The Herald's premature evaluation--updated!

Who's to blame at the BFD?

Is the pro-Hillary backlash antifeminist?

  Obviously today's "OBUMMER" front page, with Chabot's story, was just the Herald's way of shaking off the horrible feeling they had after being nice to Ted K on Tuesday. You and others noted the Herald seemed to have gone a little squishy on Ted; it's in the Herald's DNA to push back immediately in that situation.

  And PS, am I missing something? What the hell does DJ Spock have to do with that item?

  If you look at the Gallop tracking, you'll see that Obama consistently under performs over weekends, then gains midweek. Someone noted that this reflects that younger Obamma voters tend not to be home on weekends and are more available weeknights.

  In addition, the construct of 'likely voters' is used to define the tracked voters. This demographic is defined as people who voted in the last two presidential elections. There are huge numbers of new voters that will be voting Obama. It would be interesting to see a poll taking into account 'registered voters'.

  Also note that as of yesterday, Gallup noted that Obama retook the lead from McCain and that "A better night for Obama in Gallup's Tuesday tracking interviews, however, suggests that a convention bounce could develop."

  The Spock pic was supposed to conjure up the phrase "Highly illogical." (The DJ stuff is superfluous.)
