I don't think Rove is trying to fire up the GOP troops , he's just reporting the facts & truth , the election is Obama/Biden's to lose right now , they'd have to produce one or two gaffs & they still would be pretty much tied.........the GOP made a huge gaff with Palin , don't know what they were hinking , in all seriousness , McCain/Palin should lose by 10-15% after the final count...........
