>>First thoughts: Magic numbers<< John - The author's point about how Kentucky and West Virginia would probably not have been perceived as being so important if the primary calendar had been different is a good one. I think he got some of his numbers wrong, though. In one paragraph he says that Obama has the lead in popular votes, but presents figures that show Clinton with a larger total. I also have to point out one of my pet peeves in word usage mistakes. He says, "Sen. Chuck Schumer, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, kept his near-perfect record in picking nominees in contested primaries in tact with yesterday’s wins by Bruce Lunsford in Kentucky and Jeff Merkley in Oregon." The word is "intact". It's not a phrase. I've also seen people say, "in tack", which is worse. - Allen
