Yeah. That's what Rove's telling you, doubtless.

Karl Rove's weekly commentary on his updated Electoral Map:
"Four states changed status since last week's Electoral College map.
"Both Minnesota and Pennsylvania shifted from 'lean Obama' to 'safe Obama.' Michigan moved to 'lean Obama' for now. And Kentucky moved from 'lean' to 'safe' Romney.
"Barack Obama now has 214 'safe' Electoral College votes and only two 'lean' states (27 EC votes). These changes come after a week of heavy polling (there were 41 polls conducted in 20 states last week, compared to 13 surveys taken in nine states the week prior)
[SNIP]
"With Kentucky's change, Mitt Romney has 154 'safe' EC votes while three states (37 EC votes) 'lean' in his favor. The states in Mr. Romney's column are unlikely to change in the 50 days left until the election because they are all generally safe Republican states.

Pennsylvania must have a lot of Entitlement Zombies. Oh...bah...mah! Oh...bah...mah!
rove gives a lot of people gas.
actually i think Rove is in charge of $100mill pro-Romney superpac...my big issue with the map is NC is listed as a toss-up despite the claim the map is designed on recent heavy polling...at the very least it should be lean Romney...
I am soooooo scart. OMG
This isn’t good news for Obama, and I’m not just saying that on a partisan basis. All we have heard is how the Romney campaign is DEAD. How he ruined his reputation speaking on Libya, and has no chance. To see such minor change doesn’t fit the narrative. Kentucky, I had no doubts about. Pennsylvania was always going to go Obama anyway. I don’t know why anyone ever thought it was a swing state. Michigan flickers between swing and lean Obama, but it has a record number of undecideds. 10%. If 10% are undecided on election day, as opposed to the average 3-4%, we’ll take Michigan.
While I don’t doubt Rove is a good analyst, he underestimated us in 2010 if I remember correctly. And he’s also taking into account stupid CNN polls that survey 4% independents. Those polls should be thrown out.
Knew I should have inserted that sarcasm tag. ;)
Kent say what you want, but if a guy on your side has a negative, you go to him with it.
You don’t go public and give the DNCp and the Obama team a boost.
This is very amateurish of Rove.
Well I guess there’s no point in bothering to go to the polls and vote on Nov 6th. Its all over if the MSM says so.
PPP (I know) still shows an Obama lead in NC.
I live in southern York county, and the Romney signs outnumber the Obama signs 5 to 1, but Philadelphia plays too heavily into the vote count in this state, unfortunately.
Minnesota safe for Obama? lol
no.
Good try, though.
North Carolina is lean Romney. No question.
I wonder how much of that $100 million will go to electing Romney, and how much will end up in Rove's pocket?
With each passing Presidential election, Pennsylvania seems to be slipping further away. Obviously there’s something about democrats in the White House that appeals to them. Ditto for Michigan.
Well then all is lost, we shouldn’t even bother voting. Obama is up in NC.
Love you so called concerned posters on FR. This place is a cluster F.
Yeah. That's what Rove's telling you, doubtless.
I, for one, am ignoring all this BS. Go back to Carter days and learn a lesson.
Really? Minnesota voted for Mondale. Even New York didn’t do that. Does Romney have any chance there?
You inhumanly clever savant, you. That's exactly what Rove's telling you, absolutely.
