Some States Are "More Equal"

Gene Lyons addresses the matter of which states are more important in the Democratic Primaries. He compares the race to a 7-game series.

"And if nobody’s won after seven? Well, the rules say the superdelegates get to decide. And when they do, they’ll be looking at the stats, such as Obama losing 83 of Ohio’s 88 counties; the fact that so far Clinton has won states totaling 263 electoral votes to Obama’s 193; or which one polls ahead of the GOP nominee, Sen. John McCain, and where."
