| Karl Rove's final Electoral Map analysis: "There were about ninety-six polls in thirty-one states over the last week, but only Wisconsin changed status on the final Electoral College map, shifting from “toss up” to 'lean' Obama. Barack Obama has 184 total 'safe' Electoral College votes with four states (47 EC votes) 'leaning' in his favor, and Mitt Romney has 180 'safe' EC votes with two states (26 EC votes) 'leaning' his way.”

It all hinges on Ohio or Pennsylvania. Romney gets either of those and he wins.

Rove predicts Romney will will CO (9 votes) and IA (6 votes). So if Romney loses these two states, he still has 270.

George Will predicted 321 for Romney. As Rush explained yesterday, love him or hate him no one knows elections like Will and that every cycle, he dissects every detail. I think I'll take him over Tokyo Rove thank you.

Rove and Barone are the ones. Will, not so much and Morris isn't reliable. But Michael Barone, in particular, has a vaunted political analyst reputation to protect. He wouldn't risk it lightly.
It's time to give up the juvenile name-calling of Karl Rove. It turned out he was right about your favorite.

If nothing else, Rove knows how to count votes and read polls as well as anyone else. I'll take the squeaker.

Totally agree, #7. Too many 'cute' remarks really are tiresome and I trust Rove - he is like a computer and usually correct. Going to be a long, worried and hopeful day.

I voted. Not it is up to God. Praying that He stops corruption in its tracks at the polls. I was wrong about Romney the candidate. Hope he will be as good as our new President. Actually, liked Romney in '08. Then was turned off by his supporters being negative towards other candidates. Glad Romney is better than his supporters in treating even someone as damaging as Obama in an honorable way. I will stop with the snarks to Rove if others stop with the snark to Palin.

Rove knows polls.
Rove knows statistics.
Rove though, has no concept for voter enthusiasm. On that he is a biological atomaton. And sees voters the same way.
Rove got Bush elected twice in much different times. He also created the conditions that allowed Bush to be hated. Rove didn't take into account how much conservatives would like Bush to defend himself - and conservative ideals.
I'm not convinced Rove has the capacity to recognize the thoughts, hopes, dreams, and desires of the individual, even when expressed by the individual.
An actuary has more empathy.

Trouble I have with Rove 'The Architect' is that he is the architect of Bush's policy of lack of counterpunching, which abetted and enabled the media narrative that led us both to Dingy Harry and Nasty Nancy taking over the Congress in 2006, and then the election of Blessed Hussein in 2008.
Some 'Architecture'.

Don't forget Virginia. Loudoun and Prince William Counties are close, I've been told. Loudoun County gave 0bama Virginia in 2008.

Advance notice to staff, ban me if you wish, but I feel I must respond to #7. The "juvenile name-calling of Karl Rove" only refers to one event, he allowed (by his own admission) the media to push the false "Mission Accomplished" meme and forever tarnish GW with an unfair and untrue interpretation of a banner hung not by the administration but the Captain of the ship. Not quite sure about " It turned out he was right about your favorite" comment, nor do I care. Furthermore, maybe you should review the Posting Replies/Comments section under Rules & FAQs.
Don't address the staff on threads. Placing this constitutes "chatting." You do what you do. We will run this site. Also, quit using TheRightScoop links without permission. LCom Staff.

Agree with #4...Michael Barone, who has been the editor of "The Almanac of American Politics" for the last forty-years, is the gold standard...I'm sticking with his call of Romney 315- Obama 223.

Not to fear, #13, Loudoun has been awash in Romney yard signs for months. 0bama, not so much. In fact pathetically few.

Carl Rove would not risk his future on predicting a Romney victory unless he was absolutely sure of it. He must be very confident of his analysis. I am.

Finally, scientific confirmation of what so many have suspected all along: The strongest of men in varied societies around the world are much more likely to hold conservative political views. Probably much smarter too. While weaker guys, regardless of wealth, are more liberal, into handouts and wealth redistribution because, well, they don´t have the strength to get it and keep it themselves. The reassuring results come from a new study by researchers at Denmark´s Aarhus University.

Hi, I’m Congressman Andy Harris, and this is the Red Tape Tower. 20,000 pages high and seven feet tall, it encompasses all of the regulations already associated with President Obama’s health care law. The red tape, the taxes, the mandates, the tricks, the traps, the fine print … it’s all here. Now: just think about the fact that it’s the IRS that will be responsible for enforcing many of these regulations. If we’ve learned anything this week, it’s that the IRS needs less power.

Hi, everybody. Over the past few months, I’ve laid out a series of commonsense ideas to reignite the true engine of our economic growth: a rising, thriving middle class. The way I see it, there are three areas where we need to focus. One: making America a magnet for good jobs. Two: making sure our workers have the education and skills they need to do those jobs. And three: making sure your hard work leads to a decent living. I’ve also been visiting cities across the country that are doing some interesting and creative things along these lines.

Another awkward day in the unraveling presidency of Barack Obama. Beset by a trio of profound scandals, the Democrat planned Thursday´s message on foreign affairs through a joint news conference with Turkey´s Prime Minister Erdogan, a NATO ally. Unfortunately, Obama´s advance staff was apparently too busy preparing his next campaign stops to check the Washington weather forecast. It set up the news conference outdoors in the Rose Garden. Wouldn´t you know given POTUS´ recent luck, it began raining heavily. Obama [Snip] ordered two U.S. Marines to come hold umbrellas over the leaders´ heads while standing at attention.

Washington, the former swamp steeped now in ambition, acrimony and duplicity, is quite experienced in handling scandals. They erupt regularly like bipartisan blisters. If handled correctly -- take responsibility, be sincere, proactive, contrite and get all the bad stuff out there quickly in one tidy, eminently forgettable package -- scandals can heal and leave barely a scar. Take Barack Obama. Please. His recent behavior and that of his administration in this ongoing bad news blizzard will be case studies for future generations of communications strategists on how not to address crises.

Letterman: Barbara Walters announced her retirement on ´The View.´ She was smiling. Had a little cake. Seemed to know where she was. Fallon: Joe Biden met with South Korean President Park, gave her advice on avoiding war with North Korea. In other words, we´re going to war with North Korea. Leno: A CNN reporter was robbed right in downtown Atlanta. But because it was on CNN, there were no witnesses. Fallon: Obama tells Ohio State grads they need to make the world a better place. Awkward! Students yelled back, "That´s your responsibility?” You´re the president!"

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

PRESIDENT OBAMA: You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

"Can you see in your mind´s eye a way that this might not have been political, that this was a misguided stupid way to sort, but that they didn´t intend it to be some kind of political attempt to harass the Tea Party?" So actually asked CNN´s Candy Crowley of her guest Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) concerning the Internal Revenue Service scandal Sunday (video follows with transcript and commentary):CANDY CROWLEY, HOST: Moving on to the IRS problem at this moment, which is really sort of in its infancy. There will be lots more hearings coming up this week

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement
