Deep Dish Pie Chart?

Share

193percent We know that those deep dish pizzas in Chicago are much thicker than the pies elsewhere around the country, but I wasn't aware that you could also find that much extra dough in the Windy City's pie charts. Generally, when you are adding up percentages, the sum should be 100. Well, this Chicago news team certainly went the extra mile.

OK, not only is he telling us that Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee make up 193 percent of support for the GOP nomination for President, which at a first glance- looks a bit high, he doesn't mention what that percentage represents.

In case you're concerned how a news outlet that can count might interpret the same data, here's a summary of the same results from the Boston Globe's political intelligence blog.
