New Mexico Paper Publishes “Obama Wins!” Issues Early - With Video
There are either two things at play in this story of a bi-weekly paper…
1. The publisher is gambling on the polls to be right and since he must publish this week and not again until after the election, he’s making the “Poll Prediction” (idiotic) move, or…
2. He’s trying to boost circulation to raise ad rates…not a bad idea.
Oh, and then there’s a number 3. But you tell me what it is…
Cancel the vote, it is over. The New Mexico Sun News has declared, Obama wins! Is this the newspaper John McCain will hold if he pulls off the big upset in what would be a modern day Dewey Beats Truman moment? Perhaps the paper will be a collector’s item as the Chicago Tribune was after their premature deceleration in the Dewey vs. Truman race.
Dewey Defeats Truman was a famously incorrect banner headline on the front page of the first edition of the Chicago Tribune on November 3, 1948. President Harry S. Truman, who had been expected to lose to Republican challenger Thomas E. Dewey in the 1948 presidential race, won the election, according to a Wiki entry.
