For over 25 years the American news media has by and large treated presidential campaigns as horse races. Nightline did it again tonight. Saying Obama is "losing traction" and Clinton is solidifying her lead. They compared it to past campaigns (Bill Bradley, Howard Dean) and said it looks to be the same again. Of course they ended the report by saying it is "still too early." So then why do the report?
Why did I bother to watch? Well, I was still excited by a great Daily Show and could not get to sleep.
