Time Magazine editor makes Mile High mistake

There’s an article on Time Online about the Super Tuesday primary. In it Time contends that there is a possibility that the GOP field will come out of the 21-state “Tsunami Tuesday’ with a split field.

Guiliani, Time says, will take NY and its contiguous states.

Romney will take Massachusetts, Montana and Utah.

Huckabee will take the heartland.  

“Meanwhile, it's conceivable,” writes Time Assistant Managing Editor, Michael Duffy, “that John McCain would direct his efforts largely elsewhere, at Arizona, Colorado, North Dakota, West Virginia — as well as all of California. If he prevailed in those four states and won half of California's CDs, he could take home as many as 242 delegates.”

The problem with this article is obvious to any politicker who lives in Colorado.

There are no delegates at stake in Colorado. On February 5th Colorado is only holding a straw vote for President. Actual delegates won’t be decided until much later.

Duffy is an Assistant Managing Editor at Time Magazine. How does he not know that detail when he offers his expert opinion on the race?

Wonder why magazines and newspapers haven’t been able to handicap the GOP or Democrat race correctly thus far? It’s because the news people at these publications often have little idea what they’re talking about.

That’s also why they’re losing circulation to folks like us.

Duffy’s written books and articles that have criticized everyone from Bill Clinton to George W Bush.  His latest book, Marching in Place is an “an indictment of the Bush presidency.”   

And we thought “real” journalist were supposed to be objective.        

Our mistake?

Nope, it’s theirs.
