One cannot tune into Special Report with Brit Hume or Fox News Sunday without hearing either Fred Barnes, Bill Kristol or Charles Krauthammer declaring Mitt Romney dead. Certainly he is behind, but to repeatedly say "It's too late," or "McCain's lead is insurmountable," indicates a clear McCain bias.
If this year has taught us anything it is that the polls are not always reliable and those who we considered politically dead were not dead at all. Fred Barnes in particular has made his bias for McCain obvious. Even Brit Hume suggests that Romney should simply hang it up after Super Tuesday's certain trouncing. Why don't we just wait and see what happens on Tuesday. Romney very well might win substantially more delegates than Fox News conservatives anticipate. One thing is clear, the conservatives at Fox News, with the exception of Sean Hannity, are backing John McCain.
