36. Chris Matthews, who like a broken clock is occasionally accurate,
said before the PA primary that the race is over, but admits that the MSM keeps deliberately misleading people into believing Hillary has a chance simply because they want a horse race:
Chris Matthew started off the Pennsylvania primary coverage with a bang tonight. Shortly after 6, seated by co-anchor Keith Olbermann, Matthews called the primary, and thus his coverage tonight, basically moot. "This contest is essentially over," he proclaims to Keith. "Barack Obama is going to win the most elected delegates."

He went on to say of the media, "Trying to keep this game going, we've created the delusion that somehow this race is still open."
Here is a link to the video and an article about it on huffingtonpost.com:

BTW, Matthews also admitted once that the media are McCain's real constituency and that they prop him up becuase they like him so much.
