It's funny that only when McCain is ahead in the polls is the race a "statistical dead heat", whereas if Obama is 2 points ahead the quote is "Obama leads in the polls".

All this comes despite front page stories about "troopergate", qualifications and experience (or lack thereof), and despite the type of "factual" reporting I mentioned above. And even despite the fact that Obama has raised twice as much money as McCain.
