Is that a landslide? It's a good victory, but I always equate landslides with Reagan= 1984 or Nixon.

What threshold do you have to reach in order to win by a "landslide" exacly?

Karl Rove, still trying to have it both ways.

FTW? Up 5 in 4 days, but the polls are tightening!

Quote:
157 McCain (0 from 10/26)
But he said earlier today that McCain is "tightening the race.

Quote:
70 Toss-Up (-5 from 10/26)
= FL, IN, MO, MT, NC & ND

FL 27
IN 11
MO 11
MT 3
NC 15
ND 3

We know the final tally has to add up to 538, not the 468 that Rove has already allocated. Let's assume those 70 go 50/50 (although it's not mathmatically possible with those states) but go with me here. That would put Obama at 346, which is pretty much a "landslide" any more.

Karl Rove is a criminal that belongs in a cold, dark jail cell. I support Obama, but I don't give a rat's behind what Rove has to say. He deserves to have his tongue fall out.

Most Americans agree with you but it is interesting how Rove has been bad mouthing McCain/Palin throughout this election. Does Rove hate McCain for some reason?
