Recently the District 30 Democrats held a surrogate presidential candidate's forum in Annapolis. Only fifty people came--if you read The Capital (http://www.capitalonline.com/cgi-bin/read/2007/10_25-46/GOV). However, one-hundred twenty came if you believe The Sun (http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/local/annearundel/bal-md.marbella26oct26,0,19852.column) and the Democrats. CP did not attend, but always tries to count the audience just for that reason.
On the one hand, it's just a number, but on the other, it's off by a factor of nearly two and a half times. And, if you can't count a small crowd right, how can you report anything?
The District 30 Dems report that, "Not everyone who attended voted in the straw poll conducted after the meeting (one person one vote, by secret ballot), but those who did voted this way: Biden, 11; Clinton, 16; Edwards, 11; Obama, 4; Kucinich, 6; Richardson, 14. Plus Gore got 2 votes and 1 person split for Richardson/Kucinich."
