Write Obama's Campaign requesting surrogates point out Clinton won by SINGLE digits (9%)
http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/contact2

Fill out a comment requesting the campaign urges its surrogates to force the narrative in the media to take notice of Hillary's SINGLE digit win in Pennsylvania. It's being wrongly reported at 10% and generally as "double digits." If enough people write in and comment, they'll take notice. If his surrogates begin driving that narrative, many pundits will follow.

2. It's really irrelevant. I heard NPR this morning report her win as "just over 9%."
But there are bigger fish to fry.

A more constructive use of time would be to do phone calling via Obama's website, write a positive Obama letter to the editor, or many other things.

Even writing CNN about this ( they still say 10% on their website) would be better. I'm sure the campaign knows what the margin was. If they feel pointing it out it is good I'm sure they will.

3. It's worth doing both. It takes literally 30 seconds or less to send a comment to Obama's campaign.

4. LINK TO REPORT ERROR TO CNN
http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form6a.html?2

Flood them with comments about her win being single digits (9%) and force them by demand to begin reporting that fact accurately.

(As I earlier posted in another thread).

7. Thanks for the link. I wrote CNN and pointed out they have incorrect numbers on their website.

6. Yes, after the Bush years, we should all want accuracy.
Those disinterested in such are part of the problem.

9. there are several more critical issues on which to demand accuracy
like 12,000 suicide attempts/year among vets, disclosed in court yesterday in contrast to earlier claims of 790 for an entire year. If I'm going to harrass the MSM, I'm going to ask why they didn't bother to report THAT!

11. You can't do both? You seem to miss the point that this takes 30 seconds. n/t

8. It's not a matter of rubbing it in that Sen. Clinton didn't win by 'double digits.'
It's a matter of letting the media know that we want accurate information.

Thank you for your post.
