This is pretty uncalled for if true but I wouldn't put it past Obama to do this before the polls close.

Quote:
New York Times best-selling author Brad Thor, based in Chicago, tells TheBlaze that the Obama campaign may be planning to preemptively announce victory in the presidential election based on early voting numbers in an attempt to “demoralize Mitt Romney supporters.”

1. You're naive for believing anything that The Blaze says.

2. Rumors of this have been coming from both campaigns.

I doubt it will have any effect. Smart voters don't let media sway them. They know media is biased. The best thing about tomorrow is that, come Wednesday morning, I won't have to listen to another TV ad or answer the phone for one more robo call. That, alone, is cause for celebration!

Another day, another wing nut conspiracy theory.

In reality, yes, Obama will likely be declaring early victory mainly because it's over when he wins both VI and PN.

That's been done before and it didn't work then and won't work now.
