“Rove might be a genius…”

Well his goal was to win elections and consolidate GOP power. He did so in such a diabolical fashion and with such… values… that couldn't stand up to scrutiny that much of America eventually caught on. In short he's a short term strategic planner, but not a long-term or big picture thinker.

Rove might be a genius, if you believe his goal was to destroy the Republican party from the inside.

I'm not quite sure what “leading … in the electoral college” is supposed to mean, but the numbers given are apparently some subsection of states that would likely go to one candidate or the other and omit the set of true swing states (which would differ depending on the Democratic nominee). In other words, it's more fuzzy math that is intended to give some purchase from which to support her (last) best argument.

It may be time for Senator Clinton to stop litigating and start negotiating. (It may be that she already has.)

Rove is still trying to stay in the spotlight…he's even more so now. So much for his “family” time.

The comment is ripe for humor. The main one occurring to me relates to his “THE numbers” in the 2006 election.

“Breaking News: Hillary Clinton now thinks Karl Rove’s a political genius”. I would imagine that Hillary has always thought (if not publicly) that Rove was a genius. I think he's a genius on strategy. Diabolical, but a genius in strategy nonetheless.

These sorts of reports bother me (does the other party really think I'm a stronger candidate or not). I remember there was much ado in the 2004 race whether bin Laden really wanted Bush to win because Bush was weaker than Kerry or was it just the opposite.

To muddle up the matter more I remember that Bush used both arguments to his benefit. Bush at one point in time said that bin Laden wanted him to win because bin Laden was hoping that the voters would then vote for Kerry. And then Bush said that bin Laden wanted Bush to lose because bin Laden wanted Kerry, who would be weaker on terrorism, as prez.

And then didn't Rush Limbaugh say the same thing a couple weeks ago about wanting Hillary to win? Not only did Rush say one hting before the turnout, but afterwards when his "plan" didn't turn out the way he claimed he wanted, Limbaugh flip-flopped and said that the way it turned out was actually his real plan...

This argument that Hillary is making just doesn't hold any weight with me.

Besides how many people trust Rove, especially when we don't really know what he means and he'll spin the result so that he will claim to have gotten what he wanted all along?

Forget how well she might do in the general. My question is:

Anyone else find it silly to try and draw out a potential electoral map six months in advance?

It's like stating after Pennsylvania that Obama was going to get blown out of the water in Indiana.

A lot of stuff changed between then and Indiana, never mind between now and November.
