George W. Bushs top political advisor, Karl Rove has been issuing an analysis of the 2012 electoral map since April consistently showing President Obama as the favorite to win.
In his latest analysis he shows Pres. Obama with 257 of the necessary 270 electoral votes and Mitt Romney with only 182 electoral votes and 99 votes up for grabs. That means for Romney to be able to win, he would need to capture nearly 88% of the remaining votes up for grabs to Obamas need of only 13 votes.

Then again, Rove dislikes where the GOP have been going since 2010 and may be hedging for 2016.

I see FL & CO as the keys.
CO,NM, & NV are relatively "cheap" as far as ads go.. He should saturate FL, and if he wins FL, he only needs ONE more state to get the FIVE votes needed..
TWO of them could be like last time , from Nebraska, which brings it down to only THREE votes..
