"Roberts, Rupert, what's next ??? Mitt coming out on Tuesday and stating he's doesn't support himself ?"
----------------------

Rupert Murdoch took to Twitter on Sunday to weigh in the U.S. presidential election.

Sells his papers and keep his ratings at Fox news high. Easier to play offense than defense.

Not sure he's "pulling" for him so much as he is stating it's unlikely Romney will beat him. I tend to agree.

I agree with fansince; the headline for this thread is wildly inaccurate.

I'm guessing most right wing media outlets would prefer to see Obaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaama win. It would be good for business because people would tune in to hear their frustrations echoed by the pundits.

It is interesting that 4 years ago the mantra was change and anybody but Bush...

4 years later things are worse and the mantra is....it does not matter who is in office, there is nothing they can do to right the economy so why not stay the course?

Where did you come up with the title? Almost as bad as MSNBC!

The only substantive bit I saw was about Scientology...and Murdoch certainly hit that nail on the head.

Anytime a conservative in the media says he or she think Obama will win it's mostly about firing up anger from fellow conservatives.

The new title is less deceiving. Not that the original was misleading, just interpreted differently.

On topic: Interesting read, Murdoch's view on Scientology was on the mark.

It's not even that easy to do it on the computer. I actually tried to do it for the screen shot and I got the message "Can not delete Barack Obama - Permission Denied". I lol'd and face palmed at the same time.

Good man! I appreciate it.

I didn't think Romney had a shot a week ago, but this SCOTUS ruling has leveled the playing field. People will run to him looking for him to repeal Obamacare. Nevermind the fact that he won't actually do it...

Obama will win because the majority of the people in this country are stupid enough to vote for this villain. The majority of the people don't pay attention to what is going on in this country and hear the left wing propaganda machine praise Obama so they vote for him. Obama will win and the vast amount of stupid people in this country will re-elect him

To be completely honest, I could see Romney winning and I know how he'll be able to do it. If you look at the last Presidential election, it wasn't the black vote that swayed the election, it was my group, the youth vote that swayed the election. IF Romney and his campaign are smart, they will target us in the election. I can tell you one thing, there is a lot of anger and/or frustration because of people who didn't vote for him to begin with or people who feel he made a lot of promises and he didn't follow through. This would be the right time to start going after us.

Agree. The youth vote will determine this election.
