Dude, most of us have already voted. This is a discussion board and this is relevant. Your statement here is redundant as nobody is saying “don’t vote” because of this.

In 2004 even Karl Rove was initially taken in by the faux exit polls showing Kerry taking VA.

Hey, up yours Karl, you and your compassionate-conservative RION of a boss screwed the pooch in 2006 with your predictions, why should we believe you now?

Go back and do your MC Rove gig with David Gregory, it was more entertaining.

Rove is an idiot are so are people posting this crap.

I will take Mr. Marston’s analysis of McCain winning by a landslide.

I think Rove is working some reverse psychology.

I think you're giving Rove too much credit.

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

Rove will be proven to be a fool when the exact opposite happens and McCain wins by 338.

Where is this great Obama support that I keep hearing about but not seeing in the voting numbers?

Good points.

I guess that's why I'm a cook and Rove is a political analyst.

You are absolutely correct!

Rove isn't on the ground with the troops in this election. He is seeing only what the “MSM”, “Washington insiders” and “pollsters” are feeding him. He believes the hype surrounding the 0.

The Nobamamama camp admitted to using the Rove model during this campaign. FWIW.

Karl Rove...is the reason that GWB has approval ratings in the teens.

Rove is a colossal idiot. Just off the top of my head, I can think of at least five times he gave Bush advice that had disastrous consequences.

Wasn't Rove also the same guy who said Bush had 320 EV's going into the 2000 election?

Is this a rope-a-dope, or just a regular run-of-the-mill dope?

Get out and VOTE! It doesn't matter what the pundits think, they know little more than the rest of us.
