Once again, Fox News reacts to facts with pure denial. Oh, this is fucking great. ---

Fox isn’t going down easy, are they?? This is hysterical !! Karl Rove is still disputing the call on Ohio and the anchors are talking like Romney still has a chance and the anchors are making war on their own Decision Desk…all while their own banners say Obama Re-elected !!! ---

NPR’s called Nevada for Obama, and he leads in VA and FL. I feel safe going to bed. The worst thing that could happen is a recount situation. ---

Maybe Rove thought the fix was in for Ohio, and that’s why he’s so confident. ---

Rove saying it isn’t over in Ohio… Romney campaign is dutifully at heel to Rove… so no concession in next few minutes. My personal bet… Ann is having a temper tantrum and they can’t get her screaming, kicking butt up off the floor so they can do her up for the cameras. (Oh, and if this is TV coverage of news. I’m sticking to the Internet… these people are just babbling now) ---

> [@BlackKnight](#): > > Maybe Rove thought the fix was in for Ohio, and that’s why he’s so confident. Hehehehe… they did just do “experimental software upgrades” to 39 counties just before the election… see what happens when you don’t test out your applications. It would be SO funny if they tried to fix it for Romney and accidentally fixed it for Obama. Romney didn’t write a concession speech.. so he’s gonna wing it (IF, and only IF, it comes to that)… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-official-election-day-2012-thread-11-6-12/640045.md?page=31) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-official-election-day-2012-thread-11-6-12/640045.md?page=33)
