Faux News contributor said that there was no way Obama would win. He said the polls were all wrong. He said Romney would win in a landslide, and Obama had zero chance of winning.

Pundits are like TV weathermen. Bad predictions are ignored and they go on their merry way making more.

One of the best comments I read last night was on Free Republic as the stunned far right posters watched their world fall apart. He said, "I never saw this coming. I guess I listened to Rush and Morris too much." Pretty much sums it up.

It's not about truth, it's about ratings and telling people what they want to hear.

Morris is a weasel, but he's also one of the most experienced pollsters in the country (remember he worked for Clinton). He knew exactly what was coming. It's utterly disingenuous for him to be "Shocked, shocked!" that Obama won.

He's another one the right needs to rid themselves of. I have to give O'Reilly credit though ~ I went in for a minute to watch the results with my elderly father and O'Reilly said early on - that he was impressed that Obama carried the independents in New Hampshire and he predicted it could very well be a good night for the Dems.

After that I left the room so not sure what else he said - but O'Reilly was looking pretty gloom and doom; he knew.

A textbook case of Cognitive Dissonance. I wonder how many others there are? Hopefully enough to turn off the Fox/Redstate/Examiner echo chamber.

Cognitive dissonance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some conservative really said that? I am amazed, and encouraged.
