The founder -- and defender -- of Fox News said he expected Obama to win in a landslide, citing widespread unhappiness with the current administration and his disenchantment with Republican contender John McCain. Murdoch added that after a long career in the Senate, McCain had been forced to compromise too much and doesn't stand for much. Murdoch even nonchalantly owned up to influencing the New York Post to back Obama in the New York primary.

4. His wife is Chinese and about a third his age.
Maybe her family arranged the marriage. I can't imagine anyone marrying him willingly.

3. Somehow with friends like this, we don't need any other enemies.
I find that chilling that he's manipulating elections again even if it's in our favor.

8. Of course he does. His side works harder, our side relaxes.
They wouldn't win if they always assumed it would be a cakewalk.

NO ONE on our side should be saying it's in the bag for us.

10. More than anything else, Murdoch sells news
Papers, TV, whatever. He'll do or say whatever helps him make more money selling news.

He's not evil, in the sene that he's opposed to that which is good. He's ruthlessly capitalistic. If evil pays, he's evil. If good pays, he;s good. If an Obama presidency pays, he's for Obama.

EOS.

11. This also puts Obama on notice that too much compromise is not a good thing
As Jim Hightower says the only thing in the middle of the road is road kill
