Jen at Gothamist didn’t like my original post proving their pro-Obama out of touch bullshit. In an addition to the post I quoted, they’ve added the following…

Vinny at Insignificant Thoughts thinks there is scientific information showing who people will vote for and links to some polling data indicating Clinton is a favorite. However, the polls still include Edwards as an option and do not slice the data to the NYC-level - we can see how Hillary is a popular choice for New York state, given her years of getting to know upstaters.

And, hey, if we see a Hillary Clinton - or Mitt Romney/John McCain/Mike Huckabee - bake sale, we’ll let you know. Or you can let us know - tag your photo on Flickr with “gothamist” or send the photo to photos(at)gothamist(dot)com.

Jesus Christ, Jen. Yet another myth that takes about two seconds to defeat. Yes, the polls listed did, at the time, count Edwards because he hadn’t left the race yet (imagine that? They were counting a guy that was still in the race at the time?). I’m guessing that Jen was trying to prove the data that RCP was using was stale. EPIC FAIL JEN. Even so, at most, he was pulling 11%.

It just so happens, however, that RCP has updated their NY Primary polling data, without John Edwards, and guess what? Hillary is still beating Barack Obama by an average of 20 points.

Here’s the relevant data with John Edwards removed, again updated after he dropped out of the race (in other words after my original post…

They should go back to talking about graffiti and third-rate comics and authors.
