Yesterday the internets reported the rumor that Britt Hume stated on FOX that today's GWU/Politico Poll would show Romney up +5.
Well, here it is:
Obama 49 - Romney 48
So, thanks for making me wet my pants -- for the last time, Britt.
Oh and you can kiss NO LESS THAN 47% of my ass.

Also wanted to pimp my older, more sophisticated diary: ELECTION NIGHT: A Guide to Early Calls, which will tell you step by step how to avoid cardiac arrest next Tuesday.
4:50 AM PT: updated to add that previous poll from these guys was Romney 49 - Obama 47, a swing of +3 to Obama in a week.
5:47 AM PT: I think it's only fitting that henceforth within these tubes any rumor perpetrated based on FOX predictions be called a "Britt Hum-or" (Not to be confused with Brit Humour which is what they call comedy across the pond, although we would call it 'dialogue'.)
