However, for all the nonsense, he did use the word 'maven'... now isn't a liberal word?
Anyway, its all in the final sentence: "My prediction: Sometime after the cock crows on the morning of Nov. 7, Mitt Romney will be declared America's 45th president. Let's call it 51%-48%, with Mr. Romney carrying at least 279 Electoral College votes, probably more."
Wow, Karl, such an endorsement, such an electoral landslide, the like I haven't seen since... since... I dunno really.
Cheers

(38 posts)But I don't buy the vote stealing machines from either party. RCP had a story yesterday from republicans complaining about a glitch in some voting machines pre-checking incumbents in NC (Democratic and Republican). Both parties have people who will try to win at all costs, but I just don't think it is wide-spread enough to alter the election. I won't say it's impossible, but I just don't believe it. The races are close in several states, and either candidate could flip a state, but I think in the end, the winner will be legitimate.

ROVE: I said THE math.

(38 posts)...and Morris were bearish last time. They seem inordinately bullish this election (bull being he operative word). I've gone from cautiously optimistic, to optimistic of an Obama victory. Their math and message seems counterintuitive; a Romney loss in the face of their expectations will discredit them even to their followers. I would think they'd be ringing the GOTV OR DIE! message.
