ha! this piece says exactly what i saw on fox news.
i think rove believes the us has a simple majority system rather than an electoral college; and that the polls done by everyone except rasmussen and gallup are inaccurate.
yes. we know that gallup and rasmussen report results frequently. we know they always lean republican. we know they are out of tune with all the other polling organisations. etc. but how about providing the list of polls rather than your partial summary, karl old chap.

all over the map. 3 os, 4 rs (less a rasmussen), 3 undecideds.
whereas the electoral college map is very clear. most of the swing states lean o. and if anything they lean more o as time passes.
i feel sorry for republicans as they are not being supplied with the actual figures. just fox's and rove's interpretation of them. and where necessary, quote rasmussen.
actually, to be fair to fox, their own polling is fine. it shows a tie. in terms of total turnout, too close to call. but the swing states swung. to o.
