From Karl Rove's website:
The final Rove & Co. electoral map of the 2008 election cycle points to a 338-200 Barack Obama electoral vote victory over John McCain tomorrow, the largest electoral margin since 1996.
Curious to see how Fox will spin that.

Stick THAT in your pipe and smoke it!
lol.
Karl Rove is like a strip miner who comes back to the mountain he destroyed and comments on how ugly it looks now.
He burned any credibility the Republicans had in the service of George Bush, lying, cheating, misleading, manipulating, breaking the law, and just generally acting like a power mad lunatic.
People finally figured out what was going on and there's this tremendous backlash, and he has the gall to comment on it, hands in his pockets, whistling towards the sky.
Rove is the REASON the Democrats are winning. Rovian tactics (Picking Sarah Palin among them) destroyed the McCain campaign, and Rove sanctioned behavior in the White House made Americans HATE George Bush.
The fact that he gets to comment on the smoking wreckage he leaves behind him is proof that not only are there second acts in American life but that it doesn't matter how disgusting the first act was.
Is there anybody so loathsome that the American media won't broadcast his opinion? This is like having O.J. Simpson as a football commentator. Or, to draw upon his other expertise, an endorser of knives.
My bet's on they completely ignore it, like they did on Dick Cheney's endorsement of McCain.
I'll keep an eye on Newshounds to see, though!
First off, I think Rove is just being honest. His projection looks pretty plausible to me. In fact, he might be underselling Obama's margin tonight.
Secondly, keep in mind that there is no love lost between Bush loyalists and McCain. The Bush camp is very thin skinned. Not only do they still harbour grudges from the primary race of 2000, but they also didn't like McCain's criticisms of the administration over the last eight years. Bush, Rove, Cheney et. al. can't stand McCain, and will not be the least bit sorry to see him lose today.
Case in point -- Why do you think Cheney "endorsed" McCain the other day? Cheney knew full well that his public endorsement of McCain would hurt him with independents. He also knew that it would instantly be turned into an Obama ad. Make no mistake - that was just Cheney kicking McCain when he was down.
Dennis Prouse - you know of course that McCain fired his guys and brought in Karl Rove's acolytes to hammer on Obama's associations and character issues as they had no ideas to run on. You know what you wrote is detached from reality? Please tell me you know this.
Everybody is so certain Obama is going to win. I wouldn't be so confident until Florida is counted. They're saying the I-4 corridor is going to decide it. Well, I live in the I-4 corridor, and all I know is that I can count on one hand the number of Obama signs I've seen. Guess how many McCain/Palin signs I've seen. It's fucking terrifying.
I see many more McCain signs than Obama signs in my area, and I live in NJ, which I doubt would go republican, some people just are more apt to display political message, others just know they are OK and don't advertise. (I hope)
New Jersey was also the only "northern" state that didn't support Abraham Lincoln. History repeats.
