I can't get over it

All day I've been reading how there is complete "disarray" and "chaos" in the republican primary. This is code for: the media can't figure out how to credibly spin that everyone in America hates Romney.

I know, I know. I've already talked about this. But I can't get over it. Have a look at CNN's scorecard along with the summary below:

Total Primary Votes: Romney McCain Huckabee Giuliani Thompson
Iowa 29,494 15,559 40,841 4,097 15,904
New Hampshire 75,202 88,447 26,760 20,387 2,884
Michigan 337,847 257,251 139,699 24,706 32,135
Total 442,543 361,257 207,300 49,190 50,923
Total Delegates: 52 15 22 1 6


Does this look like a contest with no pattern? With no "frontrunner"? With no single candidate pulling ahead? Romney has more delegates than the other candidates COMBINED! He has over 80,000 more votes than the next competitor! What planet are these droves of columnists, broadcasters, and bloggers from?
