Did they get the story backwards?

All week long we've heard from the media how the Democratic primary process would last through April or maybe even June -- and that John McCain had wrapped up the nomination on the GOP side.

Meanwhile, Obama is winning a clean sweep of the Democratic primaries and caucuses today -- by large margins. Staggering margins, in fact, in Washington and Nebraska.

As for John McCain -- he might lose every single GOP contest, depending how Washington state turns out.

I love the media -- they get things wrong more often than I do, which is saying something special!
