How can the liberal media say "McCain guarantees victory" when he never did? ?

This is just another disgusting example of the liberal media running Obama's campaign for him. Here is the quote in the article that has triggered this headline:

"“I guarantee you that two weeks from now, you will see this has been a very close race, and I believe that I'm going to win it,” McCain told interim "Meet" moderator Tom Brokaw. “We're going to do well in this campaign, my friend. We're going to win it, and it's going to be tight, and we're going to be up late.”

WHERE IN THIS QUOTE DOES MCCAIN EVER GUARANTEE A WIN????

Can anyone refute that this headline that is pasted all over the web is an outright lie and twisting of the facts? He clearly states that he is GUARANTEEING a close race, but that he only BELIEVES he is going to win it.

Again, just disgusting.

Update:

Here are SOME of the sources:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/10/27/2401...

And for Michelob, who provided a link to WRITTEN misquote of McCain's ABC News statements, I offer the primary source (http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/10/27/2401... and click on "VIDEO: Watch McCain's comments" that PROVES that not only is the media misrepresenting what he said, but they are WRITING quotes that never occurred. So, Michelob, watch the primary interview source (next to your media-manufactured written quote) and put a leash on your condescension:

    True sir. The liberal media are Obama's lapdogs and will say anything to get his radical secular-progressive ideas in office. They have no respect for ethical journalism and will put a spin on anything.

    Tell me who it was that said he guaranteed victory. I sure haven't seen it anywhere.

    ***We're going to win it, and it's going to be tight, and we're going to be up late.”

    Don't blame the media for McSame opening his mouth. They didn't put words in it.

    I haven't seen or read anyone media,liberal or otherwise, suggesting this.

    I think you might be a little too overwrought.
