Rove isn’t a fool, and I give his opinion some weight.

I beg to differ with you. Karl Rove is a big fool. He is the reason that GWB has approval ratings in the teens.

He gave GWB a real bum steer on the amnesty issue and kissing up to the RATS.

He is one I turn off on a regual basis.

Karl Rove is trying to get a TV Show - and he wants to appear less biased.

Rove doesn’t have access to internal polls.

Got to love Karl Rove.

How many liberals and college kids will blow off voting because an Obama victory is inevitable???

Hopefully turnout is light in Philly and Northern Virginia where it is raining cats, dogs and hogs.

my advice to Karl Rove is this......grow some hair on your face and maybe you'll stop looking like such a baby.....

Fox needs to invest in a whole different bunch after the election....this group has to go....

DON'T GO WOBBLY FOLKS.....STAY IN THERE.....AND EXPECT A MIRACLE!

No need for Dems to go vote if Rove says Barry Hussein has it in the bag...

why? he's using all the same silly polls that give them Dems a 10-point advantage to come up with his final map...

I agree.... but I will say I think he's dead wrong about Florida going Obama.
