Jay Rosen of NYU blogs about the horse-race narrative that overtakes all journalism during an election -- a problem that is only worse on TV since poll results make such great sound bites and graphics. Here at PrezVid, we, too, put up poll video that makes it onto the internet now. Says Jay:

It's nice to know that Mitt Romney has pulled ahead in New Hampshire, seven months before the primary voting. Thanks, Bill Schneider! Let me ask you something: Who's ahead in addressing a broken health care system? It’s fascinating to realize that Hillary Clinton, a woman, is ahead among women. Thanks, Washington Post. In the race to protect the people against terrorism and maintain a free and open society, does the Post know who’s ahead? Could it possibly find out and tell us, and then check back in a month or so and tell us again?
