Some days, the left hand of the press doesn’t quite keep track of what the other left hand is saying:

The AP, 13 hours ago:

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton won the endorsement Monday of Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums, a widely admired black leader who had anguished over whether to back Sen. Barack Obama, her leading Democratic presidential rival.

The San Francisco Chronicle, yesterday morning:

After less than a year in office, the bloom appears to be fading fast on Mayor Ron Dellums’ rose – with a new survey finding Oaklanders deeply divided over his leadership and only modestly confident in his ability to stem the city’s crime problem.
When 500 likely Oakland voters were asked by pollster David Binder to rate the mayor’s performance on key issues on a scale of 1 to 10 – with 10 scoring high – Dellums scored a 3.8 on crime, 3.7 on improving education, 4.2 on providing housing and 4.3 on economic development…
… A troublingly high 42 percent believe the new mayor is all talk and no action.
And while 58 percent still have a generally favorable view of Dellums, just 45 percent of those surveyed said they would vote for him today.
