I'm here is with the daily biased -- -- I'm glad you made it -- I'm glad things safe.

Thank you -- -- -- always a pleasure to be with you not tell vain you kind of see.

Some of the media are already calling this race effectively for President Obama.

Well you know we're -- -- at the tea leaves and of course -- polling has just days sophisticated form upon reading Jonathan but here's what I'm relying on since 1940.

When the Washington Redskins win the last game prior to an election.

The incumbent president has won seventeen out of eighteen times and the reverse when they lose.

The incumbent president has lost soul the Redskins lost yesterday.

I leave it.

To your conclusions.

But a little more reliable stuff -- 21 newspapers 21 newspapers who had endorsed Barack Obama forty years ago have now flipped.

And are endorsing Mitt Romney.

I think that is an incredible.

Statement also -- post yet.

They did their usual.

Biased polling -- they -- about a dozen pundits.

Only two of them were remarkably your reliably conservative all the rest -- liberals all the liberals predicted they Obama win some -- substantial margin.

And the two conservatives so I've never heard.

Predicted a maybe a Romney win.

They didn't ask hey Jonah Goldberg -- -- they didn't ask me.

They didn't ask -- -- and they didn't ask George well.

They ask that all of these other people so I think that's an indication of cheerleading by the Washington Post but I'm holding onto the -- thing I think that's the most important audible.

Yes thank you for reminding me -- my beloved Redskins lost again yesterday are terrible I now it soulful Robert Griffin the third is a genius but he needs some other decent people around it I guess that's another subject.

-- that and gotten.

And then cow urine -- -- -- about these things.

And why would a Romney us target go on national TV yesterday and say don't worry about a thing we getting more than 300 electoral votes is that.

Really something that inside the campaigns anybody is seeing right now.

Now I think that's a mistake to say that I mean do you want to turn out and I have the most momentum among your people.

And the way to do that is to continue to say that it's in doubt and we need every single vote and -- Don't be complacent that while we are optimistic we can't do it without you that's what you have to do you -- go on television and say hey it's all wrapped up don't worry about it.

Because people maybe who have been hit by the storm and say well okay I guess I really don't need to -- I'm gonna try to look for a place to -- try to get some food and let me do that anyway.

Fighting that's a major mistake I certainly wouldn't do that you always want to play the underdog.

And so if you do win 300 electoral votes the media surprised everybody else is surprised that inside the campaign you knew you weren't surprised.

All right -- cal Thomas Fox News contributor from his bunker.

Thanks very much cal -- got to enjoy watching us tomorrow I -- foxnews.com and you -- what's cal every weekend Saturdays and Sundays three to four east and on FOX News Watch hosted by -- -- -- reminder once again.
