Karl Rove: North Carolina and Indiana Are ‘Gone’ for Obama, Wisconsin a ‘Battleground’ State
The Blaze ^ | 5/20/2012 | Madeline Morgenstern

Posted on 05/20/2012 3:07:43 PM PDT by Signalman

Republican strategist Karl Rove said Friday he believes North Carolina and Indiana are “gone” for President Barack Obama in November and that Wisconsin has become a “battleground” state.

“I think North Carolina is gone just like Indiana is gone. Obama has no chance to win them,” Rove told Fox News host Bill O’Reilly. “I think Ohio and Florida are leaning today towards Romney. I think places like Iowa and Colorado are in danger of floating into the Republican column. And states like Nevada and Pennsylvania are moving from lean Democrat into toss-up category. And on June 5th, mark my words, we will have more poll data than we got today that is going to show that Wisconsin’s a battleground state.”

I know, hate on Rove. But the sob is a genius at this stuff and he’s got no ax to grind on this, I’m thinking he’s right on. Hoping he is too. Why discourage enthusiasm because you don’t lke the guy? I’m going with the white board on this one.

“I think North Carolina is gone just like Indiana is gone. Obama has no chance to win them,”

That should clarify it.

The more guys like Rove and Dick Morris predict a win for the GOP, the more FReepers seem to dislike them. I don’t get it.

“I wish Rove was “gone”

Amen to that. I’m fed up with this wanna-be celebrity. Two or three weeks ago he was on television bleating on that if the election were held “today” Obama would beat Romney. Now this moron prattles on about states for Obama that are “gone” when three weeks ago Obama was inevitable. What a buffoon.

Are you aware that electoral data are generally dynamic, not static and things can change?

My opinions on the states in question are the same as Rove's. They were also the same before I read the article. After being around the track a few times you get to where these einsteins have little to say that you didn't already know, or could figure out if you wanted to.

God knows how they make so much money for so little.

Good point. I see a lot of that going on here.

Rove trashed Christine O'Donnell in 2010 and maybe one or more other Tea Party candidates. Some people are unwilling to forgive him for that.

"Those who remember the past are condemned to repeat it" or something like that.

I would rather see Michael Barone saying these things. He does political analysis with an electron microscope. County by county, street by street.

That said, I hope Rove is right.

The West will decide this election.

If Romney wins two out of Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico, then everything else falls in place for him to win it. If he doesn't, then the Kenyan gets his second term.

Well, Rove's a son of a bitch who hates conservatives and loves Republican elitists. You know, we call them Socialists when the same types are in Europe.

And Morris? He's just creepy crawly skin-crawlin material.

Well, he hates that jug eared son of a bitch in the WH though. That makes him on my side. I don’t care if he isn’t a conservative. He’s not a pro distributionist, black reperationist Marxist effeminate mom jeans wearing ahole supporter and he gets a pulpit and a microphone a hell of a lot bigger’n yours and that’s a plus...I think. Don’t you? Or don’t you think?

Dear Karl,

Remember when Michell Obama quoted that sometimes she’s just wants to walk out of the White House door and just keep walking.

Hey Karl, take a hint.
