Technically, it's still a projected victory. The Electoral College will gather to vote in December. Nothing is official until then.
While the electorate voters are pledged to a candidate, history has shown cases where a voter became faithless and cast their electoral ballot for another candidate.
It's unlikely that anything catastrophic would happen during when the Electoral College is summoned, but it is possible and nothing in the Constitution prevents it from happening.
Yeah, "projects" is the word that every single outlet used on Election Night. It wasn't a Fox News thing. Every channel, from CNN to MSNBC to CBS, "projected" Obama's victory.
Well, no, they have to use the word "projects" because all the data isn't officially in at the time. If you were watching CNN or MSNBC, you would have seen the same exact language. I hate FoxNews more than anyone, but they were correct to use the word "projects"
Calling someone an idiot IS an offense, so you can't say it and then say "no offense." :P But whatever.
I read your original comment again, I still don't know what the big deal is about his name (whether in a positive or negative way) so I'm just gonna stop discussing this with someone who just insults me, anyway.
Its a shame they've been the number one cable news network for 100 months...

Ah, announcing that Obama was President must've been a bitter pill for Fox News to swallow. Stupid biased fucks.

I don't know exactly how you come to the conclusion that I'm an idiot, without even really knowing me. But anyway.
Since you support Obama I simply wonder what kind of point you were trying to make about his (middle) name...?
mistymorning195 3 years ago
That's why you're an idiot. No offense.
Read my original comment again, then use your imagination. Or don't. I'm easy.
