NY Times "Correction"After my item about William Kristol’s incorrect assertion was picked up by politico.com, salon.com & MSNBC, among other media outlets, the NY Times printed a unusual correction today (Wednesday, May 21, 2008) In his column on Monday, Bill Kristol said he could not find a recent primary in which the candidate who would go on to win the nomination lost by as big a margin as Barack Obama lost by (41 points) in West Virginia. Mitt Romney won the essentially uncontested Utah primary on Feb. 5 with about 90 percent of the vote.I say the correction is unusual because of the editorial comment that the Utah Primary was essentially uncontested. Perhaps the Times is using the same research that Kristol did because, once again in less than 10 minutes, I was able to find out that McCain was endorsed in the Primary by Utah’s Republican Governor Jon Huntsman and that McCain campaigned in the state before the Primary, calling it a battleground. http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,660200269,00.html McCain called Utah "a battleground state among Republicans" but said he didn't like so many early primaries. Huntsman was scheduled to appear with McCain Friday evening at a major fund-raiser in the Phoenix Convention Center that costs as much as $2,300 a person to attend. McCain arrived in Utah Thursday morning and spent time with Huntsman before attending a fund-raiser at a private Federal Heights home where he raised more than $150,000.
"Early" primaries
Since 'early' is by nature a relative term, I wonder when he would have the primaries held in order to make them "later"? It seems that McTurtle McBush, like too many other high-profile poor sportsmen in American politics, chooses to (pre-emptively) regard contests that don't come out in his favor, as flawed or even illegitimate. Obviously, Kristol and the NYT regard them as virtually non-existant.

mccain contested utah even more than obama contested west virginia, so the NYT looks dumb for trying to cover Kristol's error by making it seem the margin was so large b/c McCain didn't contest Utah.
its op-ed space to Mr. Kristol and monitors the content not at all?
Thanks Jerry. This is at least the second time Kristol has had to have a correction issued in the few months he's been in residence at the Times. How many chances does get to spout his often factually dubious and sometimes factually inccorect rhetoric before they get rid of him? I understand that the Page wants to be a little more balanced, but, really, they might as well have Bill O'Reilly. That's 4 factual corrections in 6 months. If I did that in my contracting documentation I would imagine, and hope, I'd be fired. But hey, I've just got a regular job -- not like I'm a columnist at the NYT. Also, aside from it being a contested "uncontested" battleground state, weren't there something like 6 other primaries/caucases that disproved the facts of this paid political operative masquerading as a columnist? ... Utah was not the only state which McCain lost by a vast margin. The Times selectively chose that one to try to imply that it didn't count, since that was Romney's home state.
Under the Colorado pension "pass4sure 70-630 |contract breachin’ plan". . . . . you simply seize vested, accrued, earned, contracted benefits from retirees and pension memberspass4sure 70-632 | (incredibly, with the help of your local union lobbyists . . . . toss those pass4sure 70-640 |retired union brothers under the bus) until your unfunded pension liabilities are sufficiently pass4sure 70-642 |reduced to raise your funded ratio. This plan also improves the status of your pass4sure 70-643 |bonded debt (keepin’ those SEC fellas happy).
legislators around the country are not quite as sophisticated as their pass4sure 70-646 |counterparts in Colorado. It has never occurred to them that they could just pass a bill stating pass4sure 70-647 |"Oh, by the way, we are no longer bound by our contractual pension obligations." Simplicity pass4sure 70-648 |itself! This approach makes life much easier in difficult budgetary times, and takes thepass4sure 70-649 | burden off of GASB, state and local governments, plan pass4sure 70-652 |sponsors and the SEC!
