Let them keep calling it for Romney, and telling their sheep that he is so far up in the polls, that most of them will think Romney doesn't even need their vote to win.

Update: Via Marginal Revolution: for about $1,250 it is evidently possible to manipulate InTrade. This morning’s swing toward Romney was caused by one trader’s manipulation. Ro-mentum!!

Obama maintains a larger advantage in the state-by-state battle that will determine the outcome of the election. Ipsos projects that Obama holds an edge in the most hotly contested states, including Florida, Virginia and Ohio, and is likely to win by a relatively comfortable margin of 332 electoral votes to 206 electoral votes.

After all, they are FAIR and BALANCED.

Aren't they? Surely they wouldn't be trying to skew the election by telling idiots to "go vote for the winner, we just told you who it is"?

The church of Fox needs to lose its broadcast/cable license and stand prosecution for treason.
