I like the slight of hand here in this quote from the San Francisco Chronicle on the Democratic primary. "The survey of more than 2,000 likely Democratic primary voters showed that more than a quarter of Clinton voters say they will vote for McCain come fall if Obama is the party's nominee, while just 1 in 5 Obama voters say they will switch to McCain if Clinton is chosen."
"More than a quarter" as in 25%? And only "1 in 5" as in 20%? Who are we kidding here. Clinton has a five point advantage. The writer makes it seem crushing.
