Karl Rove Predicts Barack Obama Holding at 313 Electoral Votes!
By webreporter on Oct 20, 2008 in 2008 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
According to Karl Rove and his company, Karl Rove & Company, Senator Barack Obama continues to lead in the Electoral College with 313 electoral votes (EV) to McCain’s 171 and 54 as a toss-up.
At this rate this election could be shaping up to be a landslide which would give Obama the "political clout" that he could use to affect the kind of massive change needed in this country right now.
Over the past few days, North Dakota (3 EV) has shifted from McCain to toss-up on the strength of two polls favorable to Obama. State polls lag behind national polls by a few days, but in the wake of the third debate with two and a half weeks to go before the election, McCain needs to begin moving states out of Obama’s column to remain competitive.
Nearly two dozen new state polls in recent days show the Democratic Party ticket headed by Sen. Barack Obama holding strong with 313 hypothetical electoral votes, 43 more than needed for election, but Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin have regained traditionally Republican Indiana from the tossup category.

When I read this article, I can only think that there’s mischief behind it. Karl Rove speaks with a forked tongue, and he’s probably trying to play on the “sympathy voters” for McCain, the underdog. Unfortunately, Karl Rove has lost all credible, gradually over time, in my mind. Since his early college days, at age 19, he has performed illegal and cruel things to the political opponents of the “politicians” he’s trying to get into office via subterfuge, lying, spreading false rumors, bribing, etc., etc. The Valerie Plame (Wilson) leak, which he was fully involved in, is his MO. Please read my article about the Plame leak and the damage it caused to overseas CIA case officers and the spies they recruited. I’d like to hear your feedback.

I know I posted before on Rove, but he deserves another posting. Rove will be prosecuted eventually. Why? Because he’s ignored subpoenas and won’t testify in front of Congress. He runs a high risk of being held in contempt of court. There is mounds of evidence against him and even though he would receive a pardon from the President, it would be an enlightening affair to hear the committee members’ pointed questions. On my DECLASSIFIED SECRETS website I’ve written two articles on Rove. Scroll down until you come to “LOOSE LIPS, PINK SLIPS, BACK THE CIA & INDICT KARL ROVEâ€, then scroll down further until you rech “PLAME LEAK PUTS INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS AT RISK.â€
