17. It is because it REALLY IS A NON-STORY.

A candidate expected to lose a caucus actually losing a caucus is not a story.

How much in that 20 minute analysis did they mention Gravel? Richardson? Kucinich or any other candidate who didn't win and hasn't yet dropped out.

Hilary losing is a story because she was expected to win. Obama winnng is a story because he was expected to lose.

If Edwards had won, it would be a story, but losing by 8 points... it just ain't a story.
