This is a shocker! Someone on another thread, I don't remember who or where, said that this was likely the Times telling Dems that it would be very smart of them to get on board as quickly as possible. At the moment this is the only explanation that seems really plausible to me.

That explanation is as good as any! Being on the same side as the NY Times is not a comfortable feeling I must admit!
