Murdoch predicts Obama wins in a landslide

[dancingme]

"The founder -- and defender -- of Fox News said he expected Obama to win in a landslide, citing widespread unhappiness with the current administration and his disenchantment with Republican contender John McCain. Murdoch added that after a long career in the Senate, McCain had been forced to compromise too much and doesn’t stand for much. Murdoch even nonchalantly owned up to influencing the New York Post to back Obama in the New York primary."

3. He likes to be on the winning side, which is why...

in the UK, the rabidly conservative Sun switched to being a cheerleader for Tony Blair. Arguably he was going to win anyway, but Murdoch didn't want to be perceived as having backed a loser. The Sun, one of the UK's more obnoxious tabloids, likes to pat itself on the back after elections with headlines like 'It's the Sun wot won it'. As you can probably guess, it caters strictly to the lower-IQ end of the population.

4. Even Murdoch

is bound to be right at least once in his life. For the record, I agree with him (you'll never hear that again).
