CAN LIEBERMAN COUNT?

The question isn't a rhetorical one about whether Sen. Joe Lieberman's campaign can influence the race for the Democratic nomination, unless it's about the sorry state of math education in the U.S.

Riding on his "Joe-mentum" to nowhere, Lieberman seems a pathological glass-is-a-quarter-full kind of guy following his fifth-place finish in the New Hampshire primary. An Associated Press story contains this gem of a fact: "Lieberman called his finish a 'three-way split' for third place with Wesley Clark and John Edwards, though they each had 12 percent of the vote to his 9 percent. "

Sounds like fuzzy math to me.
