ABC Hit Piece On Romney

Update: Actually CNN has Romney leading with 30. There are several ways to note delegates on the board. I previously questioned AP on this here.

I guess they smell blood and are looking to finish Romney off with a misleading story. What ABC doesn't say is that there is disagreement as to how delegates should be chalked up on the board. CNN, for example, sides with Romney. But why be fair and balanced, as well as objectively informative, when they can pile on when Romney's down?

Romney's Fishy Delegate Claim

Why is the former Massachusetts governor telling folks that he leads in delegates?

In Boston today, Romney told supporters, "we have more delegates than any other Republican candidate running for president."

Here's the ABC News GOP Delegate Estimate:

Huckabee - 31
Romney - 19
McCain - 7
Thompson - 3
Hunter - 1
Giuliani - 0
Paul - 0

According to my pal, ABC News' John Berman, the count the Romney folks have is:

Romney - 15
McCain - 12
Thompson - 3
Huckabee - 2
Hunter - 1
Giuliani - 0
Paul - 0

Why be fair and balanced when you can do a hit job on your enemies?
