Karl Rove's Early Electoral Map: OBAMA WINS

Ever since Mitt Romney all but secured the Republican nomination, we were all waiting with bated breath.

Wait no more. Karl Rove has finally put out his inaugural 2012 electoral map. And who's winning?

Barack Obama. Here it is, in all its glory:

Rove.com

You can see there how it breaks down: Right now, 284 votes are either solidly for Obama or "leaning Obama." Romney only has 172 solidly in his grasp or "leaning" toward him. The remaining 82 electoral votes are toss-ups.

What does this mean? Well, first, that Romney has some catching up to do and the gravity of the map he's up against. According to this map, even if Romney wins all the toss-up states of Iowa, Missouri, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida — which could be done — he still wouldn't beat Obama.

So cheer up everyone...the RINO loses :)

Rove’s fault.

[NTegraT]

Whatever the reasons, numbers, blame, etc., I’m petrified that O gets re-elected.

[molson209]

why go through all this just put the electoral vote people in a room and let them fight it out ,save tons of money and having to listen to all the bull

[FlingWingFlyer]

Home of the slaves, land of the freeloaders. We’re all going to be on Barry and the ‘RATS’ plantation now.

[Peter from Rutland]

Hi analysis does not square with just about everything else I’ve read. He’s giving states to Obama that are squarely up in the air or leaning Republican.

Rove is a jackass anyway.

Karl Rove's Early Electoral Map: OBAMA WINS

For once, I believe Rove is right.

The question becomes: what do we do to stop Obama from implementing his agenda from 2013-2016?

[Sybeck1]

Is SC a toss up because Newt beat Willard’s ass in the primary?

[Major Matt Mason]

Personally, I think that NY is there for Romney to take. Not by a wide margin, but it is winnable for him.

[fhayek]

Texas leans Romney? sheesh. Marco Rubio as Veep secures Florida and maybe the Carolinas too.

[brownsfan]

I notice he has Texas only leaning to Romney, and Ohio leaning to Obama.

Just those two things tell me one of us, me, or Rove, doesn’t understand what’s going on.

[SnakeDoctor]

Eh. I don’t buy it. Gave no swing states to Romney.

Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio to Obama. Took Florida and SC out completely. Hell, Texas is only “leaning Romney”. That’s just stupid. No way Texas goes Obama.

Rove is trying to motivate Republicans to back Romney.

[ILS21R]

Just Rove’s way to GOTV.

[Red Steel]

So what was it said how Rove was playing this presidential election? Oh yes, he would promote Romney during the primary so he would ultimately lose in the general election, and to actively keep any conservative candidate(s) off the Republican presidential ballot.

Rove appears to be right on cue here according to the Rove critics.

[CommerceComet]

The only good thing about this election is that either Obama or Romney is going to lose.

[fortheDeclaration]

Romny is going to win this election easily, any Republican would have.

The American People have had enough of Obama.

[ConservativeTeen]

SC a tossup?

[InterceptPoint]

Romney has to win Florida and Ohio to be competitive. If Obama just wins Ohio then Obama wins the election. I don’t think that’s going to happen but we will know in November if this nation wants to continue down what is an obviously suicidal path.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

I tend to believe Rove. “The Divine One” has large blocs of voters; gays, Jews, blacks, Mexicans, Asians and young white collegiate idiots; the MSM is totally in “The Divine One’s” pocket; he has far more money than Romney; Romney is a lackluster candidate; massive voter fraud; voter intimidation due to Holder's signal that blacks can appear at polling places and intimidate cowardly white voters. In short, the odds favor the imbeciles re-election.
