title: listenTo not firing event
body: <p>I'm trying to execute my view's render method but for some reason it is telling me that <code>Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'listenTo' of undefined</code>, not quite sure why.    </p>
  
  <pre><code>var App = Backbone.View.extend({
      current_election_index: 0,
      el: 'body',
      initialize: function() {
          elections = new Elections();
          _.bindAll(this, 'render');
          this.listenTo(this, 'change', this.render);
          elections.fetch();
  /*      elections.fetch({
              success: function(test) {
                  console.warn(this.App.render());
                  this.render();
              }*/
  
          // });
      },
  
      render: function () {
          console.log('this is the render method');
          var view = new ElectionView({model: elections.at(0)})
      }
  })
  </code></pre>
