They call elections on election night as early as possible. They can decide what is "news," what frame an issue gets and what gets ignored. Jack Welch is Trump and Pat Buchanon's boss (and he thinks he is Romney's boss also so maybe he is).

This isn't about advertising -- it is about Romney blowing all the freebie airtime and MSM help that they can give to him and his surrogates.
