"WORDS ALONE ARE CERTAIN GOOD"

As a young man, W. B. Yeats said that: "Words alone are certain good." He was wrong, of course. Take these words from one of our pundits:

"Who wins Pennsylvania is important for the Democrats because that will determine who is leading and who is behind in the run for the presidential nomination."

"It's better to win fair than not to win at all" is correct, though it says nothing of any significance. But the pundific comment on the Pennsylvania primary didn't say anything--and somehow was also wrong! (In no way could the Pennsylvania primary determine who was head and who was behind; it could bring Clinton closer to Obama")
