Newspaper Says 'Obama Wins' One Week Early

A bi-monthly New Mexico paper has taken a leap of faith to move past a conservative endorsement of a presidential candidate and declare a winner one week ahead of the election.

In its latest edition that covers the election, the editors decided to print a huge banner headline that reads: "Obama Wins!"

As reported by CNN Chief National Correspondent John King on the blog politicalticker..., the liberal leaning alternative newspaper ended by imploring its readers to get out and vote, “even if we did spoil the ending for you.”

"When it comes to calling the winner of a presidential election, everyone wants to be first. The New Mexico Sun News hereby claims that achievement," said the paper's editors.

The result may either be the scoop of the century or an authentic piece of U.S. political history that joins the ranks of the "Dewey Beats Truman" papers.
