Mr. Stein, of course Obama beat expectations by a higher margin - his expectations were lower than Clinton's. It's called Do The Math. By the way, your blatant bias towards Obama is fast approaching idoletry. I thought Mother Jones was supposed to be objective. I was an adult during the Clinton years - not still in junior high, like most of Obama's supporters - so I know those years were pretty good. And I think you would be hard pressed to disagree. So tell me again, why do so many people, including you Mr. Stein, hate Hillary Clinton?

idolatry

capt.....Mr. Wolforth is right. I look to MJ to be objective and they are definitely in Obama's camp. Oh, and by the way, can you spell meanspirited?

Jeeze, I correct one word and I am both wrong and meanspirited?

BTW - yes it is mean-spirited or mean spirited. Not one word.

If you don't like what you read nothing wrong with saying so. That doesn't make me wrong for the correction.

So, if you are serious, please explain how a one word correction means I think someone else is wrong or right, or could it be you are reading a bit too much into a one word correction?

Remember Edwards, everybody's favorite populist, talking about how America can't afford to replace corporate Republicans with "corporate Democrats"? Who do you think he was referring to, community organizer Barack or Wal-Mart boardmember Hillary?Take your blinders off, the party of the middle class is being hjacked by the corporatists! MoJo isn't all that biased, but neither is it all that stupid!

Thank you silverlucie. Hey capt, as for idolatry, if you Google the word (I'm such a corporate stooge), you'll find it spelled both ways. And why can't you admit that your correction was an attempt by you to belittle my intelligense? Oh, sorry, that's intelligence. One more thing, it's Jeez, not jeeze.

"And why can't you admit that your correction was an attempt by you to belittle my intelligense"

???

If correcting one word is seen as an attempt at anything other than a one word correction - so be it!

Misspell away - I will not bother to offer any corrections in the future.

No attempt at anything was implied.

Thanks

For quick reference try m-w-dot-com

There is no alternative spelling for idolatry.

Using google to check spelling is not a viable reference. The fact that others might misspell the word is not support of the misspelling.

FWIW

Capt; People are too sensitive, sometimes we are just typing too fast. If I misspell a word, tell me. I will appreciate it.

MSO,

Thanks, and correct me too. We all miss here and there. I ALWAYS miss the most simple two letter words that pass spell check like - of for if - in for is - and others.

I can never proof myself worth a darn.

Corrections are never intended as a "better than thou"

How does a chart with accurate facts and figures, presented accurately, constitute "idolatry"?

I was a Mathlete, and we kind of thought of it as, you know, science.

Reality is biased towards Obama at the moment, y'all. And yes, Mr. Wolforth - his supporters include the better spellers. Meow!

Capt; People are too sensitive, sometimes we are just typing too fast. If I misspell a word, tell me. I will appreciate it.

Better speller - NOT!

I am a terrible speller. I have to spell check everything and I had to look up the word in question.

Not to mention the fast typing thing.

It is just NBD
