AP Math: One, two, three, four, two....

No, not "Advanced Placement" - I'm talking about the Associated Press: Democratic Presidential Race Down to Two. Or, as they later say,

The Democratic race once had 10 candidates, but the field is now down to five, including Dean, Dennis Kucinich and Al Sharpton, three candidates who haven't won a single contest.

Five? Two? What's the difference?

Howard Kurtz explains,

The media are desperate for a two-man race -- not just because it's a better story line but because the alternative is no race, if Dean and Edwards keep splitting the non-Kerry vote.
