| 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.

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.

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'.

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.

Democrat Robin Kelly wins special Illinois

Despite the endorsement of President Obama, Robin Kelly easily won election Tuesday night in a special House election to represent Illinois´ troubled Second Congressional District. The sprawling urban-suburban district, containing Chicago´s ugly South Side, was formerly represented by Jesse Jackson Jr., who like a number of Illinois politicians will be residing in a federal penitentiary for a while. In fact, the last three incumbents of the Second District´s seat have moved on to prison cells, as have some recent governors. But that’s probably coincidence.

President Obama was on again Monday about gun laws, not enforcing the existing ones. But getting some new ones, any new ones so he can claim some kind of political victory after all of the promises and vows he made in the emotional days last December. But Obama wasn´t working on the senators from his own party who will actually determine the fate of these measures. That would be political leadership. No, Obama was out of town again, up in Hartford for a photo op with Connecticut legislators and some Newtown families.

It´s a good thing this column is available online, so that residents of Memphis, New Orleans and Riverside, California can learn how unsafe their city is without having to venture outside. Those are the bottom three metropolitan areas where residents said they felt least safe walking alone at night in their neighborhood. From the safety of their little work cubicles somewhere, the number gnomes over at the Gallup organization have been accumulating data on perceived human well-being as part of their polling calls on many subjects. From that data comes the 50 most and least safe cities.

Hi, everybody. Our top priority as a nation, and my top priority as President, must be doing everything we can to reignite the engine of America’s growth: a rising, thriving middle class. That’s our North Star. That must drive every decision we make. Now, yesterday, we learned that our businesses created 95,000 new jobs last month. That’s about 500,000 new jobs this year, and nearly 6.5 million new jobs over the past three years. But we’ve got more work to do.

In a swift and strange reversal, Obama administration officials Thursday rushed to play down their own recent announcements of defensive U.S. military movements in response to threats and provocations from North Korea. The hereditary Communist dictatorship of the Kim family that took over the North after World War II has always been quirky, unpredictable and, well, mentally unbalanced by any modern governing standards. The country would be cinematically comical and worthy of a Peter Sellers role were the rogue regime not actively developing nuclear weapons and long-distance missiles to deliver or orbit them.

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz has called for the complete legislative repeal of ObamaCare and its replacement by comprehensive healthcare reforms that actually increase patient choice, decrease the role of government bureaucrats and disconnect health insurance from employment. "If you lose your job," Cruz said, "you don´t lose your house, life or car insurance. They go with you wherever you go." It should be the same for health insurance. In a wide-ranging exclusive interview with IBD´s weekly M&M podcast, the Texas freshman said, "Our first priority is repealing ObamaCare and repealing it in its entirety.”

Remember how since-demoted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said we´d have to pass the massive ObamaCare health law to find out what´s in it? Well, now three years later that´s happening and a lot of people are not liking what they see. Remember how ObamaCare was going to save you money? Not going to happen. Premiums are going up, some by as much as 100%. And a new study by the nonpartisan Society of Actuaries finds that on average insurers will have to pay 32% more for claims under ObamaCare.

Hello, I’m Congressman Lee Terry from the state of Nebraska’s Second District. Republicans in Congress are focused on creating jobs and improving the cost of living in America. We’ve held the line against tax increases and passed a balanced budget, and forced the Democratic-run Senate to approve its first budget in four years.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

More than six months since Ambassador Christopher Stevens was assassinated by terrorists in Benghazi, the Obama administration is still trying to keep a lid on information about the attack. Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent? And why did the administration lie about who was responsible? Members of Congress have asked hundreds of questions at hearings conducted by several investigative committees, but many of the most significant have been left unanswered.

Scarborough said such a filibuster would be an example of the GOP putting “rapists’ rights ahead over parents’ rights.” “[I] tell you what, Richard Haass, I saw John McCain there,” Scarborough said. “And I’m hopeful.

Margaret Thatcher had more impact on the world than any woman ruler since Catherine the Great of Russia. Not only did she turn around—decisively—the British economy in the 1980s, she also saw her methods copied in more than 50 countries. "Thatcherism" was the most popular and successful way of running a country in the last quarter of the 20th century and into the 21st. Her origins were humble. Born Oct. 13, 1925, she was the daughter of a grocer in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. Alfred Roberts was no ordinary shopkeeper.
