What I predict Wolf Blitzer (CNN) will say at about Midnight one week from tonight...

"CNN projects that President Obama has been re-elected, but more importantly Former MA Governor Mitt Romney has finished with a stunning 47% of the vote--far outpacing Green nominee Jill Stein and Libertarian Gary Johnson. In the electoral college, the president has received more than 300 electoral votes including victories in Ohio and Virginia. But equally impressive is Mitt Romney's 200 electoral votes including a massive 70-30 percent victory in vote rich Utah. It's even more impressive when you consider that Stein and Johnson didn't receive any electoral votes."

I could easily hear him saying "For Ohio's Electoral votes, Obama currently leads 55 percent to 45 percent with 98 percent of votes counted. In Florida, President Obama leads Mitt Romney 57 percent to 41 percent, with 96 percent of the vote counted. These states are simply too close to call right now..."

Wolf could also say that Former Governor and current Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney came in SECOND! while that other guy came in fourth from last.

He will say "African American" 20% of the time, "Hispanic" 20% of the time, "Gender Gap" 40% of the time, and "President Obama" 20% of the time.
