Karl Rove Second Guesses Fox News' Ohio Projection for Obama On Air
Laughs were had on set, Romney conceded later in the evening
fter Fox News called the election in favor of President Barack Obama, Fox contributor Karl Rove challenged their decision to give Ohio to the president, causing chaos on-air as hosts Bret Baier and Megyn Kelly scrambled to refute Rove's reluctance to believe the Fox News "decision desk's" call in favor of Obama.
"We have got to be careful about calling things when we have like 991 votes separating the two candidates and a quarter of the vote yet to count," Rove warned the Fox anchors, much to their dismay. "Even if they have made it on the basis of select precincts, I would be very careful about intruding in this process."
