Sadly, I was not watching this live, nor in my quick scanning this morning have I found the full 45 minute video. But quite simply, Karl Rove refused to believe the news-gathering reporting of the network that employed him and demanded, on the air, that the network stop everything and retract their projection that Barack Obama had won Ohio and, therefore, the election. They sent Megan Kelly across the building to talk to the network experts who said they were "99.5% confident". Rove refused to believe it. It took bringing in Michael Barone (who two days earlier had predicted Mitt Romney would take 315 electoral votes) to talk Rove off the ledge and admit that it was over.
