Rove on Obama

With 30 days until Nov. 4, Karl Rove projects that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) would get at least 273 electoral votes – three more than are needed to win – if the presidential election were held today.

But Rove warns that this race is “susceptible to rapid changes,” so no definite prediction is possible.

The remarkable forecast from the architect of the last two nationwide political victories underscores the straits that have rapidly enveloped Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) as the banking and credit crisis spread.  Read Article Here.

Interesting to hear Rove say that Obama would win if the election were today.  Wonder what the strategy is behind this claim.  Probably trying to ensure that the Republican base will vote on November 4, and try to get Democrats to feel that Obama has already won the race.

We both have an interest and this is an introduction and invitation to my blog and if you would like to make a counter visit I would like to stop by again regularly to comment.

Do you like books and have you read any books by Salman Rushdie? I feel your blog is very interesting and worth my time...also I feel we can learn from each other.

Hope to see you soon.
