Ah, it's 3:15; time to start lowering expectations for Hillary so when she pulls out Texas by 3,000 votes (and a net delegate loss of 20), she can declare victory and stay in the race. Onward to Puerto Rico!
I doubt Marc would call Rasmussen a major national pollster, their methods are hotly debated. While Zogby predicted Iowa well, he messed up CA big time.
This is Gallup, Survey USA or Ipsos if you ask me.
On the McCain story: isn't withholding a story because you fear that it would influence the course of elections, influencing the course of elections? If you know something that would change people's votes, and you intentionally don't tell them, aren't you manipulating their votes? The press should not be an elite class that determines what the public may and may not know, nor when it may know it.
Marc Ambinder, an Atlantic associate editor, blogs about politics and Washington. He might also write the occasional post about aviation, national security, and cognitive neuroscience. Mostly politics, though.
