Defining Swing States
Posted by michaelmee on May 22, 2008
The media… Oh the media…
CNN recently posted an article claiming Clinton did better in swing states.
Their evidence? Polls from Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida.
Obama will win Pennsylvania. He is “losing” by 4% in Ohio and Florida. Very close to, if not within, the margin of error. Yet this makes CNN news as a headline.
Why does the media continue to perpetuate this myth? Are they simply uninformed? When people are obviously rooting for Obama on MSNBC, why don’t they point out the obvious? Why do they allude and reinforce the perception that Clinton is a stronger candidate?
I don’t have an answer.
