Rove Calls it for Obama: 338-200 Electoral Blowout
November 04, 2008 11:53 AM
Karl "Permanent Republican Majority" Rove is wrong quite often -- remember "the math" in 2006? -- so Obama supporters should take his final map with that in mind.
That said, it seems not insignificant that Rove writes: "The final Rove & Co. electoral map of the 2008 election cycle points to a 338-200 Barack Obama electoral vote victory over John McCain tomorrow, the largest electoral margin since 1996."

Dear "Common Sense"...having read your nom de plume, I anxiously waited to read your astute Palin...Oil...blah..blah...blah commentary this morning. May I suggest you use the handle "Any Sense?" for your omniscient remarks............how dull.

Hey, Karl...are you telling me that all the time you masqueraded as a Repulsican you were really a demoncrat in drag? Leave us alone.......go get an honest job.

Fungible Molecule,
"Sara Palin the energy expert who said, "Oil of coal, of course, is a fungible commodity and they don't flag, ya know, the molecules where, where it's going to, where it's not, but and in the, in the sense of the Congress today they know our very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first. So I believe that what Congress is going to do also is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it's Americans who get stuck holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here; it's gotta flow into our domestic markets first."
I wonder if we (Obama supporters) can get *that on a tee-shirt!
I love it. Thank you. Thank you, indeed.

I find it extremely disheartening that the press is even allowed to project, predict... anything before ALL voting polls are closed. The press helps to corrupt the entire system. It is rare to actually get the facts and only the facts on any story. Why is it that we the people are treated as though we are idiots. How can you project something when you only have 2% of the information? This process is to important to us as a "Democratic Society" to allow such distortion. There were some comments made just a short while ago about Ohio and the fact that the Obama camp still had people knocking on doors today. The indication being that the sheer saturation of people helped him to win that state. First of all, all votes are not talleyed, second someone knocking on my door is not going to make me vote for you. To make that reference insults the people.

Rove, Hannity, Limbaugh, Mark levin are the worst extreme right wing stooges. They spread lies and smears on Obama day in day out.
Their days are over! Truth will win!!!
Posted by: polite | Nov 4, 2008 7:44:06 PM
Yep. Obama will win in a landslide. That's why I am staying home, no need to vote.

________________________________________
Let me tell you something. I listened to the "sound bytes" the MSM played 24/7 non-stop for 2+ months and during the first few days, I decided that I needed to understand who was this angry man ranting at his congregants. So rather than just accept the MSM's BS and opinions, I researched, found the link to his church and then listened to all his available sermons in their entirety. This preacher, Rev. Wright has been so unfairly MALIGNED by so many people who have only listened to the 'sound bytes' rather than even trying to understand the gist of his sermons. Furthermore, Rev Wright served our country as a Marine and was highly decorated as a result of his bravery and service. Not only that, he has served his community on a 'daily basis' in every capacity his 'entire' adult life. Have you done anything close to that for your country and your community?
Furthermore, I saw him on NPR with Bill Moyers and found that he has a superior intellect, he is witty and he is quite charming. [I have a feeling that one of the primary reasons Obama enjoyed his company so much was because they both have such 'superior intellects' and could mentally spar with one another and throw around ideas - not as many speculate to teach Obama to be a radical!] I hate hearing anyone malign Rev Wright because he has done so much to help others and this is not what he deserves in return. He is so brilliant and has an extremely generous heart. Can you match any of those qualities?

Littleleers, you asked the IQ total question, not me! Please try and identify the information you want, so it can be answered correctly!! I'd rather have a guy with a high IQ, than Obama, who won't release his IQ or his transcripts from college! I wonder why!

Yeah, about those Democrats all in line voting...Claire McCaskill tried to vote in Kirkwood(St. Louis) today. Only problem was she had already requested an absentee vote ballot. Said she wasn't sure if she'd be here or in session. WHAT?? She says she sent her sister home to get her ballot as SHE GOT CAUGHT. She truly is an idiot.
Democrat who voted for McCain/Palin.

Those lefty democrats are always whinning about the supposed right wing philosophy of the republican party during this election cycle.
Posted by: seemstome | Nov 4, 2008 4:57:25 PM
I have been out on the streets and haven't seen any democrats, very strange, very strange.
Oh, there they are. All in line voting.
McCain likes surges, well he got more than he bargained for this time.

I think congress should pass more legislation protecting the American species.
They seem to be so rare and growing more so every day. According to the latest studies they number less than 6 million but control forty percent of the wealth.
If Obama becomes president these noble animals will be hunted ruthlessly.
Act now before we lose them to his cruelty.
They are the closest thing we have to royalty.

If Miss Piggy says something you better check to see if your wallet is missing.
Who is he trying to hustle now?
With Karl Rove CYA has a duel benefit.

The Republicans are already engaged in this process of change to the center.

LMAO! I have two words for you that completely negate your entire argument:
SARAH PALIN

Thanks for making my point for me, fungible.
If they lose and you keep kicking her, you're face will be the next up to the boot. If you don't know that much about political history, I suggest you study hard between now and the midterms.
Her victories are guaranteed now.

"The Republican party has been hi-jacked by far right wing radical neo-cons."
Nope. Despite what you've told yourselves the hard swing was Democrats to ultra-left. It is the Republicans who will pull for the center now.
Watch. It is as natural as a stream blocked at one tributary finding another. If Obama wins, America will flirt with leftist ideology for two years at most while the MSM looking for stories begins to dig out the chalk between the Democratic fingernails scaping across the blackboard of the American conscience.
The Republicans are already engaged in this process of change to the center.

Why is Karl Rove endorsing Obama as the winner? How does it fit into his agenda of self interest?
