Karl Rove Electoral Map: Obama Looking Pretty - Business Insider

There are two big differences here for Obama. They come in the swing states of Iowa and Colorado. Colorado is now a lean Obama state, whereas Iowa has moved into the definites. Meanwhile, Romney lost his stranglehold on Montana. So that makes it a complete wash as far as definite states go.

What looks even better for Obama? Arizona is now a toss-up state. This is notable because Democrats have been pushing the idea that they can win the state for the first time since 1996.

All told, with the leans, Obama gained a bit on Romney from the last map: He now leads 290 to 172, up six electoral votes from last time. There are 87 toss-ups, an increase from 82 last time.​




Wow, an old fashioned clock-cleaning. Only Diebold can save the Republicans.
 
Hmm that is not what I understood when I saw some talk show thingy on BBC Parliament .. from CSPAN.

Plus... no offence.. but Business Insider does not have the best of track record for factual journalism.

Seems far more like a Karl Rove "scare-the-base" tactic than reality. I find it hard to believe South Carolina is a toss-up or that Texas is a mere "leans Romney". I'd love to believe this race was a walk in the park, but its going to be tighter than that. At the end of the day, however, I believe it will not be particularly close unless the economy turns south.

RCP is a better measure and does make sense on this subject. RealClearPolitics - 2012 Election Maps - Battle for White House

Even RCP has the commit and lean of Obama at 253, meaning he needs only one or two of the toss-ups to win; while Romney would have to almost run the table on toss-ups to win. Of course, that is a May snapshot and the election season really doesn't begin until Sept so it more like a pre-season "writer's poll" than anything else.

Only a fool would believe what Karl Rove says. Seriously, do you actually believe South Carolina is a toss-up state as his map indicates?
 
Pretty funny map considering SC is a toss up and Ohio and Penn are leaning Obama.
 
There are plenty of predictions saying Obama will win.
There are others saying that Romney is a shoo - in.
Then, there's the long range weather forecast for rain on June 30.

All of them are too far away from the event they're predicting to be worth a bucket of warm spit.
 
270-270 tie? Thats not even possible

Pointing out that his map may be flawed is perfectly legit. Besides, making any predictions this far out is stupid.

And the "KKKarl Rove" thing is painfully juvenile.

This has been a paid political announcement.

You're referring to voter fraud using electronic voting machines where the software was manipulated NOT to count votes that went for Democrats (i.e., Gore in 2000; Kerry in 2004). I really hope the 2012 presidential election doesn't come down to that again.

Actually, Karl Rove is a smart political strategist. I don't like him personally, but I really wouldn't discount his judgment where presidential politics are concerned. After all, he's been at it for years...long before GWBush, in fact.

Now, while this could be a "scare the base into voting" move, the political map has been in Obama's corner for quite some time now. Personally, I don't foresee him losing unless something crazy happens.

there was no evidence that such a thing happened in 2000. Gore's people committed numerous acts of voter fraud in my state but when Bush won anyway, further investigations were dropped

There's a huge body of evidence that Bush stole Florida. Do your homework.

its stupid and immature to try to associate Rove with the KKK. It would be akin to saying James Carville works for the ELF or the MS-13

See this article and the eBook, "BlackBox Voting" that's referenced therein, specifically Chapter 11.

Bottom line-Gore lost Florida. How many votes did the MSM calling the election for Gore cost Bush in the Panhandle? In states west of Florida where the polls had not closed? No one can say. Gore had every advantage, he was part of a fairly popular administration, he had a fawning press on his side and he could not EVEN WIN HIS HOME STATE.

Where are all the homophobes going to move after this election? Maybe we should cut a few states loose.
