Fox News Calls Ohio For Obama As Rove Says McCain Needs Ohio To Win

Fox News called Ohio for Barack Obama while Karl Rove was in the middle of an electoral map analysis that said John McCain will have a nearly impossible road to victory without Ohio.

"If he loses Ohio," Rove said of McCain, "he goes from 286, which the Republicans carried in 2004, down to 266, and that puts him below the 270 threshold needed to win the White House. So he'd not only need to sweep the rest of these states which were won by the Republicns in 2004, he'd also need to pick up something as well."

"Guess what Karl," Brit Hume broke in, "I've just received word that the state of Ohio has gone for Barack Obama."

Watch, as Rove sketches out McCain's improbable last hope for a road to the White House, which goes through the solidly blue states of California, Oregon, Hawaii, and Michigan (he would need one of those to win the White House):

Arrest Bush, Cheney and Rove NOW!

[TomCannon]

I couldn't agree more with you. While I know and realise that this country has many pressing needs right now, that still doesn't mean that we (as a country) can allow these people, who have committed all these crimes against us for these last 7 yrs, to get away with it. If we, as a country, allow these people to get away without even so much as an official inquiry, then I predict that we will see alot more people ignoring the laws of this country, and we will see the beginning of anarchy. The soul of this country, DEMANDS that starting with the top of Bush and Cheney, and then everyone else who has been invloved in the lying, theft of/from the treasury, the illegal spying on us, and the trashing of our Constitution, to be brought to JUSTICE!!!!!!

Obama wins!

Nice work HP!

I am happy and ticked at the same time. Although I'm ecstatic about the win, I am also angry with the likes of Rove and the rest of the Neocons for lying, cheating, slandering, crumby, vivious, vile, out of touch ignorant campaign that McCain sighed on for . Which McCain won being the nominee by default, as the other Pukes shot and killed each other. I always had to wonder how this challenged man could even make a run for President.

Hey Dick Morris, bite my arse.

I gotta wonder, who besides the uninformed viewers will still watch Fox News? Saaawweeet.

[Oonagh]

I totally agree with you................................. Fox should fade away...

Goodbye you jerks at Fox. Thank you Rachel Maddow, Chuck Todd and David Gregory - the best team in politics. You kept me so sane since the primaries.

Isn't this a great country!!!!!!!!!!!!

[awcbuddy8]

You do realize Fox news ratings are going to go up considerably these next few years. The voice on dissent baby!

[violimo]

He didn't change his demeanor at all when he was told he lost Ohio, still hanging on projecting they could win some place like Oreg. Hey Rove, knock knock, the Hague MPs are here for ya.

[WaimeaWidow]

Oh, it's going to be a long, sad night for those "fair and balanced" hatemongers at Faux News.

[jennbeez]

No. Fox is delighted. They no longer have the unfun and thankless task of defending Bush, but they get to do their favorite thing of all: attack attack attack Barack. Remember how much they enjoyed their jobs when Clinton was in office?

[kcgeezer]

You are so right, but for one night this is great! They look like someone took their toys away.

[salamfall]

It's going to be a beautiful day I can sense it, pass along the video
