MSNBC getting paranoid about ignoring Clark....
At least they're getting a little better

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4170456/
Kerry’s next-closest competitor in the delegate tally, Howard Dean, had 121 delegates, while North Carolina Sen. John Edwards had 97 and Wesley Clark 80. Girding ourselves for a torrent of outraged e-mail from Clark supporters, we at Demo Derby place Edwards second behind Kerry.

Subjective boost
Yes, it is true that both Clark and Edwards each won one primary on Tuesday night. But two factors, one objective, the other subjective, push Edwards ahead of Clark. The objective factor: Clark won the Oklahoma primary by 1,206 votes out of a total of nearly 300,000 votes cast. His margin of victory was less than one percent, a nail biter by any standard.

Edwards won the South Carolina primary by a wide margin, 45 percent to 30 percent for Kerry, a plurality of 42,666.

2. Now if they can just put Clarks 250,000
he raised in one day on the ticker instead of Edwards' 200,000. Did anyone else notice this? I am one supporter that e-mails them every time I see a slant! :hi:
