Karl Rove, the president's top political adviser called the race for Bush. "We're ahead," he told reporters in Cincinnati, Ohio, the last campaign stop Sunday. "We will win Florida and Ohio. We will take at least two or three or four states that were won by (Democrat Al) Gore in the last election."

I hate to say this, but Karl looks kinda ridiculous in this camo garb or whatever it is.
he is a chubbikins, that's for sure!
3-4 states won by Gore in 2000? Which ones? IA,,NJ,PA,NM,MI?
Yeah, but Bush looks natural, and Karl isn't running for Prez...
It is that goofy hat. All he needs is a "Kick me" sign on his back.
Now if Karl Rove didn't say this he should not be hanging around the Bush campaign. He should team up with Kerry.
"I hate to say this, but Karl looks kinda ridiculous in this camo garb or whatever it is."
That's the point --- so did Kerrwards!
Are they all wearing Hallowe'en "kerry kamo kostumes"?!?
ROFLMAO!
I hate to say this, but I remember Rove and Co being this upbeat 4 years ago, too, and we barely won. I hope they learned something in the last 4 years and aren't making the same overconfident predictions of 2000.
Remember this a Halloween costume last night jabbing at Kerry's duck hunting excursion. It is suppose to look ridiculous.
"I hate to say this, but Karl looks kinda ridiculous in this camo garb or whatever it is."
because he is mocking john f'n kerry
Love the pics! Just heard ABC News guy say that Kerry is in Orlando trying to "get out the vote, despite a real lack of enthusiasm from his base".
WI
IA
MN
Wild guess would be Wisconsin and Iowa. Minnesota and MAYBE Michigan and New Jersey would sure be nice.
If Bush takes Pennsylvania, I will open the champagne. Or maybe I will have to wait for Ohio. I assume Bush will win Florida. bush can win without Ohio, but that would be cutting it very close.
Love Bush (although I'm no Koolaid drinker), love Karen Hughes, but Rove looks pretty stupid in the Realtree camo; shades of Skerry's Elmer Fudd moment...
who are you going to believe the MSM or Karl Rove?
Rove wanted to look ridiculous. It was his Halloween parody of Lurch.
Doesn't matter. Karl's not running for anything.
they were in costume for halloween spoofing the "duck hunt" of Kerry's.
I agree- not that it matters much now, but why would he want to look so ridiculous on camera?- Karen Hughes doesn't look much better though. Landslide isn't a word I'd use at all for this election, but I think our leader knows what he's doing and will therefore, not be on losing end come tommorrow.
umm why are you guys dissing rove?
do you know yesterday was holloween and he was mocking kerry?
Rove had egg on his face in 2000 and I don't think he would say something that will not come to pass this time around. Rove anc company would definitely not be wearing this garb if they didn't think they were going to win.
Bush will sprint all the way to the finish line and this race will be over early Tuesday night.
There is a way we can know by Tuesday afternoon who has won.
Just watch Chris Matthews, Judy Woodruff, Keith Olberman and Ron Reagan. I know the last one is particularly hard but trust me. If, at 2:00pm or so, these folks look like their cats just died, you can bet that they see a Bush victory in early exit polling.
If you want to wait until the polls close, watch NJ. If NJ goes Bush, it's over. If not NJ, then if PA goes Bush, it's over.
We did win didn't we?
I would love to see their internal polls.
Exactly, that's the point!
Losers talk about how they aren't sure, what contests we might lose, etc.
Winners talk about and are confident of winning big.
I betchca Kerry's people are saying the same thing, but in their hearts they know the truth is lurking out there and it ain't going be pretty.
I hope Carville has his head all shined up and his trash can ready
Vote and Pray; Pray and Vote!
He's mocking Kerry on Halloween folks. Get it!.
C'mon we're supposed to be the smart ones here.
>"Rove looks pretty stupid in the Realtree camo; shades of Skerry's Elmer Fudd moment..."
That's the idear.
It was Halloween...
We won by a hair when Rove et al predicted a much wider margin. This country can't afford another protracted post-election battle through the courts. We have a war going on.
The pictures were taken on halloween, the camo garb is a spoof of sKerry's goose hunt in Ohio a few days back. Kids just having fun!!
Right. Thats the whole point. Lurch did too...
But really, Rove isn't the only one saying Florida and Ohio will be red, and if that happens, it would be very likely that Bush-Cheney would top the 290 mark, and we would know that by midnight, even though Kerry might delay concession until Wednesday. 290 or more would effectively preclude the 2000 scenario of delayed concession past Thanksgiving.
Big freakin' surprise.
I don't think they would be joking around like this if they weren't confident. It hysterical.
Will stem cell research help the development of humor transplants?
I think that was his intent :0)
What in theee hell does that have to do with anything? Chubby? Who cares?
If we win those two, we win, no doubt about it. To win my homestate (WI) and a couple other 'blue states' would be icing on the cake.
I'm going to be listening to Rush Limbaugh. In 2000, he was generally upbeat until the third hour of the program, when his mood inexplicably turned dark and hesitant. We later learned that he had received the results of exit polling that showed Gore slightly ahead. This year, I pray he's whooping it up in the 2 o'clock (ET) hour!
IT WAS HALLOWEEN AND DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT KERRY DID TO GET THIS RIDICULE?
New Mexico guaranteed to go in Bush column
Iowa and Wisconsin very likely.
What does ROFLMAO ? mean. Sorry I am new.
