Fox News electoral count analysis
They've initiated a daily tracking on Hannity's show, and their debut results tonight have our guy on top so far. I know there's been rumors on the internets of a possible Nov blowout against Obama, but this flies in the face of that. Foxnews has Virginia in play, and Colorado leaning towards Obama. CO hasn't gone blue since Clinton in '92. All thats left in the Dem primaries is convincing the supers that Obama can pull it off, so these features are encouraging, even from biased outlets like Hannity's show.

1. There map is very accurate. though they are not favorable on safe Obama states.
Some of his leaners should be considered safe.

11. Tipoff for the maps: Texas is a split state, w/both Clinton & Obama winning.
CNN shows the split state. Don't know if MSNBC does. But Fox will NEVER show it as split, IMO. The goal is to show that Hillary won "THE" states.

12. Another tipoff for a skewed map: FL & MI have not been deemed valid primaries by Dem. Party.
They typically are not shown in any of the maps at this point. They will be...later. But not now.

13. Um is Florida circumcised, I know the repubs think florida screws Dems, but come on.
Ok not my fault, its either late or early, whichever gives me the Clinton out, so its not my fault.

5. Wow, when Hillary's lost Fox News, what else is left, really?
Another talking point bites the dust.

10. It's temporary. To make it look good, Fox will have something not SO bad about Obama....
then revert back to the "poor Hillary," etc., etc., etc., she may just pull it off...message.

I watch Fox News occasionally. This seems to be the method. If you notice, the map isn't showing a landslide or anything for Obama. Enough for them to change it to a Hillary win in a couple of days.

7. Nope, which means we're looking at an Obama blowout.
He'll take NH, Wisconsin, Neveda, New Mexico, Michigan and maybe Ohio.
