The network of the Republican Party and the conservative movement . . .

Which network was that?

Lots of liberals at FNC. Find me some conservatives for balance at any other network

There is more and more evidence that several percent of the Obama voters were fraudulent. I don’t think it is fair to blame Rove for criminal acts that he didn’t commit.

I didn’t see any polls saying “landslide”. Then again, they didn’t say “landside” in 1980 when faced with the same economy, same middle east mess cause by pro-Islamist/antisemite presidents, same sweater speech in the White House, same gas prices, same gas rationing...

Neither side drew the numbers they did in 2008 (a bunch of people don’t give a sh!t anymore).

Meghan Kelly on FOX is cute but a blonde bimbo talking-head nonetheless. Her giddy behavior on election night coverage was very annoying and amateurish.

I think we need all the votes counted and an analysis of what happened. I would tell this author - not so fast until we can examine voter fraud impacts. Morris’ prediction was assinine. There were plenty of guys at this site predicting landslides and I thought they were fools as well. Rove’s prediction was reasonable (280 or so) and about what I had hope for although I expected obama to win due to voter fraud.

Not to defend FOX News because they suck and can’t be trusted, but the polls were in fact skewed. Folks got on the phone and told the pollsters that they associated more with the Republican party than the Democratic party and then those same folks stayed home and did not vote on election day.

Both Rasmussen and Gallup had a R+(3-5) advantage the day before the election and had the advantage actually swung back from D+8 in 2008 to R+3, it would have been a Romney landslide. When the pollsters asked who was most likely to vote, they seemed to also have misled.

Rove and Morris are despicable, but they were just quoting numbers from a lot of people who are very good at their jobs. Remember, Barone blew it the same way and he is not a GOP-e jerk.

The embarrassment we suffered was from believing Americans valued freedom. Silly us.

Fox needs to fire Rove and Morris. They are incompetent has beens, an embarrassment. They need to hire someone that can craft an expansion of the base, since the base won’t come out to vote down zero.

The next candidates need to know how to work a room full of people. Edutainment. They need to generate sound clips of the good kind, not the embarrassing kind.

Reagan knew how to work a room. He knew how to stall a hostile crowd because the event was running late. He had them laughing and and applauding. He was not a manager, or particularly insightful. He hired those persons. His job was to get votes. He and Obama and Clinton were real good at that.

Qualification number one: being able to work the room, entertain while making your point. Everything else will follow.

You know what? EFF YOU. Yea, Fox News is right wing. Eat it. Nobody told you to watch it and nobody is forcing anyone to watch it.

Big old EFF YOU to these liberal morons. Im owning it. Sure, it has Whoraldo and Bob Beckel but Im down for just saying, “yep, its ours”.

Im just so done caring about how the conservative side looks anymore.

Add to that list several notable talkshow hosts who also claimed the polls were wrong.

This time, several of the major polls were hitting bull’s eyes.

It seems it was the talkers who were hoodwinking their listeners.

So, where did those talkers get their misinformation?

This nation is skewed towards idiocy, and there is no success in predicting sanity. Tell your Congress critters to give the Democrats everything they want, to oppose them on nothing. Let the left own it. America is theirs. Let’s see what they do with it.

Lets face it. Rush was right, its hard to vote agains’t Santa Claus. Couple that with massive fraud and we have now gone way past being able to correct what ails this country at the ballot box.

Dick Morris, Karl Rove, Fox News and fools: Not fair and balanced
Now that is pretty hard to argue with!
In fact the only thing I see that Jeff Crouere is wrong about is; Fox News ain't no network, it is a Cable/Satellite news station. and that is just picking $hit with the chickens.

What I find astounding is that Romney got fewer Republican votes than McCain did in 2008, and McCain was intensely disliked by many conservatives.

What caused this to happen? Was it Romney's reputation as an opportunistic flip-flopper? Was it his strategy of "sitting on a lead" and "running out the clock" after the first debate? Was it the rancor generated by a hard-fought primary campaign? Did Romney's Mormon faith spook Christian voters? Was it a combination of all of these? Was it something else?

I find it interesting that they keep interviewing these morons as if they have any credibility left with the people.

The author must not watch Fox, they also had Trippi on, a democrat who was predicting an Obama win. Larry Sabato, was saying he thought obama would win, didn’t he.

Also, Fox’s own poll showed it would be a tight race. Is this author a liberal who doesn’t bother watching fox but thinks he’s an expert about the channel to write about them?
He obviously doesn’t know that there are democrats who go on fox who were predicting obama would win.
