    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. All remaining toss-up states have been allocated to the candidate leading in them, with Florida (27 EV) going to Obama, and Indiana (11 EV), Missouri (11 EV), North Carolina (15 EV), and North Dakota (3 EV) going to McCain. The two candidates are in a dead heat in Missouri and North Carolina, but they go to McCain because the most recent polls conducted over this past weekend show him narrowly ahead. Florida, too, could end up in McCain’s column since he’s benefited from recent movement in the state.


    Rove must not have access to whottt's insider information.

    Interesting. I always assumed that if anyone knew how to handicap a race, it'd be him.

    you guys would have saved yourselves a lot of time and trouble if you would have listened to me a couple of weeks back. September 14th was the end for McCain. Mr. Peabody gets credit for breaking the news that day.

    That was the start of the market meltdown (or the day just before it, to be more specific).

    "very substantial"

    McMakesUp 's convention/pitbull lead bounce was neither substantial nor durable.

    I would actually trust Rove's assessment more than some others, as I think he's a realist at this point about the Republican party's footing.

    But still, Rove is famous for this 2006 exchange with NPR's Robert Siegel and in hindsight, obviously he was either purposefully overconfident and lying or rather was just flat out wrong.

    SIEGEL: We are in the home stretch though and many would consider you on the optimistic end of realism about...

    ROVE: Not that you would exhibit a bias, you just making a comment.

    SIEGEL: I'm looking at all the same polls that you are looking at.

    ROVE: No, you are not. I'm looking at 68 polls a week for candidates for the US House and US Senate, and Governor and you may be looking at 4-5 public polls a week that talk at udes nationally.

    SIEGEL: I don't want to have you to call races...

    ROVE: I'm looking at all of these Robert and adding them up. I add up to a Republican Senate and Republican House. You may end up with a different math but you are en led to your math and I'm en led to THE math.

    SIEGEL: I don't know if we're en led to a different math but your...

    ROVE: I said THE math.

    Yeah, he has his credibility to worry about. It's not good for business if he pulls a whottt and goes down making wild predictions about a McCain landslide.

    Porky sleazebag Rove is a serial liar (Congress forced dubya to invade Iraq, etc, etc) so why is he even being referenced?

    FWIW, I think ol' Turdblossom's forecast is pretty close to the mark, give or take a state.
