Everyone's freaking out about the percentages...
When you increase the denominator (the divider) and the numbers in the numerator (divided) remain similar in distance, the percentages shrink...
Look at the raw numbers, Lamont's lead has been increasing with each of the last five reportings...
The last five vote gaps:
+5,583
+6,277
+6,910
+7,421
+7,709
The larger the Lamont lead the better Joe needs to do in the urban centers to make this up...
Watch the spread folks!
