ROve on with the new polls and new Rove electroal map.
McCain leads 227 to Obam’s 215 electoral votes.
FL goes to McCain now, no longer a toss-up. NH moves to Obama though.
Wallace recognizes that Obama’s attempts to switch red states to blue is a failure. Rove admits overall the advantage is still with Obama but the National Polls are really swinging to McCain. Latest numbers are 49/47 McCain.
Rove talks about the volatility of the race but that McCain is really gaining the advantage. Rove says the Palin choice is a big motivator in the polls changing.
Wallace wonders if the Palin phenom will last another six weeks; Rove not sure.
Wallace asks Rove what he would tell Obama to do to turn it around. He says Obama needs to stop attacking Palin; the other is to stop attacking McCain, which is not working. Rove talks about how the public still doesn’t quite get Obama and Obama needs to get out the Obama message.
Obama got $66M in August — his biggest month evah!
Seems like a fair trade.

Has anyone in their personal history of watching political talk shows ever heard a host ask a guest “what advice would you give the Republican campaign to help them win?”
Last poll I saw McC was leading in NH
66 million in August? So he says. I’m nort buyin’ it unless it’s purely Soros money.
Mccain got over $50 million in the days immediately following Palin's selection. He also is getting $84 million in public financing which Obama refused. McCain's doing o.k. in the money war. But local candidates can always use more help.
