  2. This map wasn't exactly part of Fox's caucus coverage. That lower third was used during commercial breaks to keep viewers apprised of current totals while the commercials ran. The image you see is part of a 5-second bumper promo 'Fox: Where the News Is', that showed a spinning globe and a ton of cities and countries whizzing by. Pretty much indistinguishable unless caught in a freeze frame. johnny dollar
