New York is Hillary Country
Wednesday, June 04, 2008 by Dave Winer.
When I arrived NY in mid-May, I asked the cab driver, a black man, who he voted for in the primary. He said Hillary. Of course, I thought. He said everyone in NY likes Hillary. 
When I bought the NY Times today, thinking it would be a MEN WALK ON MOON type historic banner headline, I should have known they would play down the history of it, and play up the Hillary of it.

PS: The Chicago Tribune sees the history.
