This so-called journalist also made this claim in this story:
"After Hauser, a park board commissioner, was out of the race, her 
supporters--a majority of whom, like Tifft's, were white--split their votes 
between Glidden and no endorsement. None of them voted for Hayden."

I don't know where she dreamed up that last statement, but it is absolutely 
false.  I was Head Teller at that Convention, and it is quite clear from 
the vote counts that in 4 of the 10 precincts (2, 5, 6, & 7), several 
Hauser voters switched to Hayden.

It's pretty clear from reading the article that not much research was done 
before writing it.  I doubt that the author even talked to any of the 
candidates other than the ones she quotes to support her positions.  Such 
'reporting' doesn't give a reader much confidence in the quality of this 
publication.
