John McCain — Remember Him? — Takes Lead

Reuters: Obama’s lead over Clinton narrows: Reuters poll By Steve Holland

Democrat Barack Obama’s big national lead over Hillary Clinton has all but evaporated in the U.S. presidential race, and both Democrats trail Republican John McCain, according a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.

A more logical headline would be “McCain Leads Obama, Clinton,” but Reuters doesn’t want to risk the chance that you’ll actually think that a Republican nominee even exists.  If you’re a highly biased and politicized news organization (although I repeat myself) it’s much better to focus on the two Democrat candidates.
