Some of us care who ends up in first. We understand that as long as a Dem makes the top two we will win, but we still want to follow the race and know that Becerra will eventually come in ahead of Hilton. Of course the press will treat Hilton as the winner for days or weeks before that happens, and then pretty much ignore it when Becerra overtakes him.
