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.
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.
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.
I, for one, am ignoring all this BS. Go back to Carter days and learn a lesson.
I’m surprised with all the oversampling of Democrats in the polls that Romney has ANY EC’s. It should be an Obama clean sweep!
Rove and his compilation of polling data is a joke! The only poll that matters is on November 6th.
This rove crap is a bunch of Rcp polls averages by each state?
Rove peddles this crap as legit ?
What a hoax !
This includes all the discredited PPP and NBC propaganda polls !
Rove is a huckster !
Wishbones maybe?
This wont be 2008 or 2010. Too many unknowns.
If Romney loses Rove will be proved a fool for sure, I know thats a small consolation prize given O. Alternative if Romney won big then Rove will own the R party again, Kingmaker.
Only a few months ago we were poised for such victories with the Senate and House.
Is Romney hurting us badly down ticket?
Rove’s view counts a whole lot - like $100 million worth - since he’s in charge of one of the two big GOP SuperPACs (the other being the Koch brother’s Americans for Prosperity).
THE SEVEN BATTLEGROUNDS:
CO, FL, IA, OH, NV, VA and WI
NC ... the chatter is that Obama is withdrawing
NH ... very expensive for 4 EVs (since you have to buy the Boston market) AND Scott Brown’s chances of re-election are hurt by “nationalizing” the election in the Boston market
Of the seven remaining battlegrounds, all but one (Iowa) has a competitive Senate race; they’re twofers.
MO ... could be a problem; if I were Rove or the Kochs, I’d have a contingency plan for when the second and final deadline for Achin’ to withdraw passes.
MI and NM ... could still opportunities; plus, they are also twofers. If I were Obama I’d take advantage of the suspension of GOP advertising to move the dial in these two states. But, Silver has them as solidly Democratic.
Obama definitely has an edge in “safe” states because he has more big states locked up (CA, NY, IL) than Romney. Which means that Romney has to win a solid majority of the tossups to win it — splitting them with Obama 50/50 won’t be good enough.
It all depends on the turnout. The mainstream polls are predicting a model in which turnout is similar for Democrats to what it was in ‘08, or even more favorable for them. Rasmussen seems to be the only exception, which is why he’s showing Romney with a slight lead.
We’ll find out who’s right soon enough.
Well Rove dissed the Tea Party and missed 206 and 2010 elections, he regurgitates the polls on Fox with Trippi, even thought he finally fessed up when pressed on the oversampling rats in the polls.
It reminds me of the espn sports argument show which are staged.
I watch how the campaigns act, Obama is ACTING like he is toast. The polls reflect a 2008 turnout model which is a fantasy.
All the polls show Obama down double digits with independents Rove knows this.
I think there is no way for Obama to win nationally while losing independents by double digits.
People don’t fall for this, its liberal propaganda.
I advise all to go to www.hillbuzz.org and read Kevin’s articles on this very subject. They are trying to depress and discourage voter turnout. Don’t fall for it and don’t unknowningly spread the propaganda, you’re doing the enemy’s dirtywork for them.
We’re winning and they know it!!
Panic time! I have been since the GOP-E got their weakest possible candidate again. Any of the others-but Ron Paul-I would be more likely to vote for.
PA was in the ‘safe’ Obama column before he was even a candidate.
