NEDRA, NEDRA, NEDRA

AP writer/Mediawhore Nedra Pickler chimes in on Dean's 3rd-place finish:

"We're just glad to get our ticket punched from Iowa," Dean said on CNN's Larry King Live.

Two weeks ago, Dean was the clear front-runner in the race. But his rivals pummeled him with criticism, saying he didn't have the foreign policy experience or temperament to lead the country. (emphasis mine)

When Nedra Pickler mentions that Howard Dean was the "clear front-runner" in the campaign two weeks ago, she fails to inform her readers that Dean never had a significant lead in Iowa, and the race there was always close.
