Fox “News” is now informing their viewers to get ready for President Mitt Romney! It’s gonna be a rout this November, according to the Rightwing media outlet’s latest “updated election forecasting model” for the November 2012 election.<\/p>\n

That “model” today includes Romney winning every single swingstate, with the exception of Nevada. That would include Romney wins in Pennsylvania, where the TPM PollTracker average currently has Obama up by 4.4 points<\/a>, and Wisconsin, where Obama is reportedly up by 8.5 points<\/a> in TPM’s combined poll average. (See all of TPM PollTracker’s swingstate averages here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

So here’s what all of that now looks like today in Fox “News” World…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

To be sure, Romney has seen a significant bump in pre-election national polling on the heels of last week’s first Presidential Debate. There is still a dearth of reliable state-by-state polls since the debate, however, that might lead to Fox’ predictions seen above. Nonetheless, they’re now on the record trumpeting the upcoming Romney Landslide.<\/p>\n

Most importantly here: Anything<\/i> can now happen on Election Day. There will be no “anomalies” in the computer-reported results, because, as Fox and their paid analyst Karl Rove will be happy to remind you on Election Night, “[Fill in the state<\/i>] had been predicted to go for Romney for some time”.<\/p>\n

Some, such as National Journal’s Matt Vasilogambros, who posted the above graphic today on Twitter<\/a> today, are “LOL”ing about it. I’m not so sure this Fox “News” flag plant will necessarily<\/em> prove to be quite as amusing as some of the Twitterati are regarding it as today.<\/p>\n

It’s about the narrative, stupid.<\/p>\n
