For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: CNN beat Fox on Tuesday's primary night. According to Drudge:

CNN 3,298,000
FOXNEWS 3,068,000
MSNBC 1,648,000

Why might this be? Are liberals more interested in these primaries due to the battle between Clinton and Obama? Is it more about the party not in the White House always being more energized? Are the Republican candidates not generating much enthusiasm? Are conservatives disinterested due to the absence of a true conservative candidate as a frontrunner thereby auguring poorly for the GOP? Or, do right-thinking people understand these early primaries in tiny states are irrelevant?

What do these figures mean if anything?
