Am I the only one who looked askance at the Oregonian's Wednesday headline on the Mayor's race, which read "Potter forces runoff"?
Potter finished first, not second. The Oregonian didn't print "Naito forces runoff" (County Commissioner Lisa Naito finished first but didn't get 50%) or "Fish forces runoff" (Nick Fish, city council candidate, ditto).
Shouldn't the headline have read "Francesconi forces runoff?" Or maybe "Dewey defeats Truman"?
