22. He's got links to two polls up now above the headline
The first, he writes the link:
NEW WASHPOSTABCNEWS POLL: LARGE SHIFT TO OBAMA...
(the story at the link has a poll at Clinton 42 Obama 37, indeed a shift to Obama since their poll a month ago)

the second poll he headlines:
NYTCBSNEWS: MCCAIN NOW 'MOST FAVORED'...
(if you follow this link, the poll has Clinton at 42 and Obama at 27 essentially unchanged since December)

So, the poll that shows Obama has momentum gets a headling trumpeting Obama's momentum

The poll that shows Clinton holding steady with a huge 15 point lead gets a headline about McCain.

He tries to create a media meme. In this case his meme for the week is that Obama is gaining on Clinton. That may be true or not, but that's his AGENDA.
