Who's picking whom at the Erie Times-News?

Erie Times-News writers, editors and proofeaders need to brush up on who/whom usage. In his column today, Ed Mead wrote:

"Kennedy has always been ready to support the Democratic Party, whatever it does or whomever (SHOULD BE WHOEVER) is running.

In his article today in which he wrote Governor Rendell predicted John McCain would not pick Tom Ridge as his runnning mate, John Guerriero wrote:

"But Horton said it doesn't matter who (SHOULD BE WHOM) McCain picks as his running mate because the Erie delegate said he thinks Obama will win Nov. 4. Many polls now show a close race between Obama and McCain."

Guerriero's article is typical of the one-sided coverage the Times-News has given to the Obama/McCain contest. While it's cleverly nuanced, it's worth incalculable thousands of dollars in political advertising and promotion to the Democratic presidential nominee's campaign, while at the same time detracting from the McCain campaign.
