A delegate matter

8th January 2008

Very few, if any, media folks are talking about how the candidates are doing in the delegate count. CNN explains how the delegate apportionment works (in theory, anyway): Why delegates matter in the presidential race - CNN.com.

I guess a headline of “Hillary beats Barack by 3 points” sells more ads than “Hillary and Barack tie, get equal number of delegates.” That’s a shame. I suppose it may be true that a “victory” in New Hampshire means more than the actual number of delegates pledged, but that’s only because the media plays it that way.
