Obama Wins!(Some newspaper in New Mexico has declared him the winner...beats the rush)
politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com ^ | October 27, 2008 | From CNN Chief National Correspondent John King

SANTA FE, New Mexico (CNN) – For The New Mexico Sun News it is either a major scoop or “Dewey Beats Truman” déjà vu 60 years later. “Obama Wins!” is the headline of the edition on newsstands now, complete with “special collector’s edition” in red bold typeface. The Sun News is a bi-monthly newspaper and its Oct 26-Nov 8 issue had to hit the streets, and the newsstands, before the election. So the editors decided to make a leap of faith and declare Democrat Barack Obama the winner. In an article explaining their choice, the editors unabashedly wrote, “When it comes to calling the winner of a presidential election, everyone wants to be first. The New Mexico Sun News hereby claims that achievement.”

Not one vote has been officially recorded yet here you have a New Mexico newspaper declaring a winner. This is why the MSM is hated beyond words!

Good PR ploy. People who would never think of buying the rag will get one for memorabilia regardless of their vote.

That's what I am thinking, too.

Remember when President Truman held up a newspaper saying he lost? Bunch of fools.

Nah... they don't think, so they can not be hurt. Best protection ever.

GOOD point. However, if they’re wrong and he loses, they’ll be the next great laughing stock in media. I guess they live by the philosophy that there’s no such thing as bad press.

Santa Fe is San Fransisco east. They will all stand in line, one behind the other, even if they don’t think their votes matter.

It’s a Northern NM rag.

If they print 12,000 copies it will be a record.

That must be a throwaway weekly lefty muckracker rag then.
The SF New Mexican hasn’t predicted a winner yet.

Do they have him winning just the 2008 election or did they go whole hog and give him 2012 while they were at it?

There are LOTS of intangibles here in New Mexico, so calling it for Obama this early is inaccurate. That rag is coming from the liberal echo chamber in Santa Fe.

SANTA FE, New Mexico ...

Santa Fe is home to many liberal transplants from both California & the north east. It's no accident that Valerie Plame Wilson & her husband (CIA leak & yellow cake fame) ended up there after leaving Washington.

For President Barack Obama and his world wide Obamacon cult, the Upcoming Election is "Just a Mere Formality!".

So just stop this stupid and outdated technicality of an Election. Osama/bama is now our FUERHER UBER BAMA, er president of America and the entire world.
