Quite a night for Spin Control! The instant analysis crowd was buying the “college towns may swing it for Obama’ line for most of prime time on the East Coast, even after even my not-too-keen math skills revealed that once Clinton’s lead hit 4,000 votes, Obama would need 60 percent of a 75 percent turnout of all the dems and independents registered in durham and hanover just to catch up! But they kept repeating this pablum, quoting “sources” and speculating about turnout. It was a classic case of the pack chasing its collective tail.
