The Last Night Before the Election - Rove's Prediction


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. All remaining toss- up states have been allocated to the candidate leading in them, with Florida (27 EV) going to Obama, and Indiana (11 EV), Missouri (11 EV), North Carolina (15 EV), and North Dakota (3 EV) going to McCain. The two candidates are in a dead heat in Missouri and North Carolina, but they go to McCain because the most recent polls conducted over this past weekend show him narrowly ahead. Florida, too, could end up in McCain's column since he's benefited from recent movement in the state.

  4. I'm hearing vastly different reports...landslide for Obama, narrow win for Obama, narrow win for McCain...

    LOL on that last one! :)

    Interesting to see Rove's prediction.

  7. I'll take that map and smile. But I would dearly, dearly like to turn my home of NC blue.

    Ironically, Liddy Dole may have helped to do that in the past four days with her down-in-the-gutter attacks on Kay Hagan.

    And now wouldn't that be some irony? Trying to play the Jesus card in the Senate race and unintentionally helping to elect our first black President in the blow back.

    Sweeter than sweet tea.
