Romney today leads the delegate count a 66. McCain trails, but is till called front-runner by Slate? Shame on Slate, for acting as if anyone can look a a crystal ball.

On Super Tuesday everything will be different. New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut will put someone (probably Guiliani) way in front. The biggest reason is because of the statewide winner-take-all policies in those states. The states are also large, and all the primaries through Feb 6 only count half too. Just New York will give 100 delegates to one lucky candidate and 0 delegates to the rest. That will slingsot anyone in the front, dwarfing the 66 Romney holds right now.

Honest coverage would empasize that.
