Reply #9: The point is that we don't know what it is yet, do we? [View All]

The media websites are using different totals that the state -- totals that are larger, meaning that either the state or the media has something wrong or that the state's total is less complete than the media's (which is not impossible, since the media may be getting their numbers directly from the counties).

In any event, using the media's number, and doing the rounding that they typically do (not special rounding created just to make this particular race come out a particular way), its 55/45 -- 10 percent.

If you use the state's numbers, and round the same way, its 54/46 -- or 8 percent.

I've seen claims on this board by HRC supporters that its 10 percent and by Obama supporters that its 8 percent. At this point, if you accept that rounding is common practice, neither is wrong, neither is right.

I don't really care other than I think the claims that there is some media conspiracy involved here are sill. The medai are doing exactly what they've done all along (get their own numbers, do their own rounding)
