Karl Rove’s polling shows Obama leading by almost 30 pts

George W. Bush’s 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 Obama’s need of only 13 votes.

Don't trust him.

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

I would sleep a lot better if I knew that Romney would get trashed from my crystal ball.

Rove is a dangerous individual. Never trust anything he says or which has his name attached.

is a great site to play with the possibilities

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..
