Filed it. Karl wasn't too good in '06, but he's been right in the past, and he reads his own entrails, so he could be close.

Don't argue with the dirty trickster and GOP election Guru named Karl Rove...he KNOWS that there could be an Obama landslide victory tomorrow unless there is widepread manipulation of the way voting machines count votes...the polls are not close enough to cheat across the country and so Rove makes his prediction...

Karl Rove Predicts Obama Blowout

voices.washingtonpost.com

The architect is not optimistic.

Karl Rove, who is widely credited as the mastermind behind President Bush's election victories in 2000 and 2004, predicts that Democratic nominee Barack Obama will win Tuesday's election with 338 electoral votes while Republican John McCain garners 200. The forecast puts Rove at the higher end of predictions for an Obama victory, even with several of the closest states being awarded to McCain.

According to the final 2008 polling map posted on the Rove & Co. website, Obama will take a wide swath of tossup and red states, including Virginia, Ohio, Florida, Colorado and Nevada. The former Bush political adviser predicts McCain will hold on to North Carolina, Indiana, Missouri and his home state of Arizona. Obama, according to the Rove map, will win easily by 10 points in Pennsylvania, where McCain has poured significant resources and campaign time.

Many of Obama's victories in red states will be won by 5 points or more, according to Rove's map, including Ohio (5 percent); Virginia (7 percent); Colorado (6 percent) and Nevada (7 percent). Several of McCain's wins will be nail-biters by comparison, including Florida (2 percent) and Missouri and North Carolina (less than 1 percent each).

As recently as mid-October, Rove had said that Obama had not yet "closed the sale" with voters. On Fox News Sunday, Rove acknowledged that McCain has a "very steep uphill climb," but also said that "right now people are playing the game of sort of trying to settle the race before it's over."

"In the close states, the last poll that matters is the one in which everybody gets to cast their ballot and not wait for the phone solicitor," Rove said.
